Offshore Emergency, Lifeboat And Coxswain

Safety And Survival: Offshore Emergency, Lifeboat, And Coxswain

Without having the right & required skills, it is tough to survive when an emergency occurs at Sea & Offshore.

The reason why Sea & Offshore are dangerous areas:

- Far from immediate help

- Conditions at Sea & Offshore are unpredictable

- Strong waves, currents, cold water & others

Lifeboats are essential to be used at Sea & Offshore when emergencies occur:

- Accidents & fire at a ship, boat, sea, or offshore

- Storms & others

Lifeboats present at Sea & Offshore are designed to:

- Ensure safety at Sea & Offshore

- Rescue victims from emergencies

- Keep victims afloat & protected until help arrives

- Provide necessary equipment: Food, drinking water, First Aid

Offshore Lifeboats must be handled by a Coxswain who is responsible for directing the Lifeboat during emergencies.

Some of the roles of a Coxswain:

- Operate the Lifeboat safely in Sea & Offshore

- Direct victims to a safer place

- Ensure everyone is wearing PPE & following Safety Procedures

- Use the radio to coordinate with rescue teams or nearby vessels

- Ensure the survival of everyone
