SAFETY FEATURES 



Safety is a prime concern aboard the vessel. 

 Safety features and rules, unique to this par- 

 ticular facility, are a part of the safety pro- 

 gram. Precautions have been taken to prevent 

 accidents in the maintenance shops — for ex- 

 ample, protection for eyes and limbs. 



Fire protection includes: (1) CO o extin- 

 guishers throughout the facility on both decks, 

 (2) fire ax and sand pail, (3) fire hose with 



city water, (4) fire hoses with river water (two 

 200 gpm electrical and two 200 gpm gasoline 

 pumps), and (5) personnel assignments and 

 responsibilities. 



A water level warning system, installed in 

 the bilges, activates an alarm horn and simul- 

 taneously disconnects the electrical service to 

 the fish-holding water supply pumps. 



First aid kits are placed throughout. A 

 stretcher is available on the main deck (loca- 

 tion of safety equipment is shown in Fig. 11). 

 All hands are instructed in resuscitation tech- 

 niques. Nonslip surfaces are provided in danger 

 areas. 



Life jackets are available and used when 

 working over or near the water. Hard hats are 

 available for all personnel. 



A monthly safety meeting is held aboard the 

 facility, and each member of the crew is en- 

 couraged to make observations and recommen- 

 dations concerning operational safety.
