Man Overboard

"Man Overboard" is a term that refers to an emergency where a person falls from a boat or ship into the water. Because safety is the most important thing in life, witnesses must immediately save them by taking the following steps:

- Sound an alarm on the ship to alert everyone that there is a Man Overboard

- Warn the crew by shouting "Man Overboard!" to initiate the Safety Procedure

- Alert nearby ships via radio to request assistance if needed

- Direct the ship to approach and pick up the victim

- Have several crews watch over the victim

- Throw a life vest at the victim so that the victim can hold on to the life vest and not drown

- Give instructions to the victim to self-save

If the victim cannot self-save:

- Prepare yourself and other crews to rescue the victim

- Turn off the engine on the ship when the ship is close to the victim

- Lift the victim onto the ship when the victim is at the side of the ship

- Give first aid to the victim after the victim is rescued from the water and is on the ship

- If necessary, seek medical assistance for the victim as needed

Several steps to avoid Man Overboard:

- Make sure everyone uses PPE

- Make sure Safety Equipment is available on the ship: Nets, ropes, alarms, radios and others

- Ensure cleanliness on the ship so that no one trips, slips and falls

- Work as a group to ensure help is available if an emergency occurs

- Take the Sea Safety Training regularly so that actions to avoid emergencies and save yourself and others can always be taken

The Sea Safety Team who rescue Man Overboard must have knowledge about:

- Psychology of survival

- Survival life support

- Rescue techniques

- Survival at sea
