EMERGENCIES
Be prepared to deal with emergencies before
they happen. Try to formulate a plan for each type
of emergency in advance so you can make
decisions quickly and without hesitation. Precious
moments lost can mean the difference between
losing and saving a life.
Before operating your boat, see
Safety on
page 2-1

FIRST AID / MEDICAL
EMERGENCIES
Every second counts toward preventing injury or
death in case of a medical emergency. Boaters
must have proper training and take necessary
preventive measures to properly assist in times of
need. Carrying an adequate and current first aid
kit is critical in the immediate response and care
of someone in need of medical attention. Always
have dry blankets readily accessible to help
prevent hypothermia. For additional information
on medical, first aid and safety training such as
CPR, contact your state and local authorities, or
visit the Red Cross website:
http://www.redcross.org
EMERGENCY
PREPARATION
CHECKLIST
In addition to a safety equipment list, have an
emergency checklist on-board to assist in times
of emergency. Use the following topics as a
guideline to develop a list of emergency
procedures and instructions for the use of visual
and audible distress signaling devices, radios,
first aid kits and all related information that could
assist you or others in the event of an emergency.
CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING
DANGER!
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a
colorless and odorless gas produced by all
engines, fuel-burning appliances, and any
material that contains carbon and is burned.
Do not confuse carbon monoxide poisoning with
seasickness, intoxication or heat stress. If
someone complains of irritated eyes, headache,
nausea, weakness, dizziness or drowsiness, or
you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning,
immediately move the person to fresh air,
investigate the cause, and take corrective action.
Seek medical attention if necessary.
For additional information, see
Carbon
Monoxide on page 2-5
.
USING DISTRESS
SIGNAL DEVICES AND
CALLING FOR HELP
Ensure all passengers understand how to
operate all on-board visual and audible distress
signaling devices and communication equipment.
Keep all distress signaling devices and
communication equipment in a readily accessible
area and within immediate reach at all times.
An emergency can occur when you least expect
it. Be sure you and your passengers know how to
use all types of distress signaling devices.
Seconds count during emergencies. Knowing the
proper way to use the distress signaling devices
on-board your vessel can help saves lives.
The word “MAYDAY” is the international signal of
distress. Use “MAYDAY” only in emergency
situations.
