Controlling Operation of ship and Care for Persons Onboard
A fire at sea is one of the most dangerous situations a seafarer can face, and if a shipmate is missing and needs to be rescued, that situation just got worse. A self contained breathing apparatus is your lifeline. In the event of fighting a fire on board or rescuing someone from a hazardous environment, it could save your life or someone else's. SCBA is your lifeline in any kind of fire.
Effective training in the proper use of an SCBA unit is essential. STCW regulations outline the competence required in firefighting and rescue situations. It is important that SCBA sets are properly maintained and always ready for immediate use. Training is probably the key thing that you definitely want to do, because the more you train, the more it come to you as second nature.
