Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) will offer a 10-hour fishing vessel safety and drill conductor course in Juneau on Tuesday June 14, 2011. This course will be held at the Bill Ray Center, 1108 F Street, Juneau, from 8am to 7pm. This course meets the U.S. Coast Guard training requirements for commercial fishing vessels. It is available FREE to commercial fishermen thanks to funding from National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the USCG.
Participants practice hands-on in the water and on a vessel, with emergency equipment that should be onboard any commercial fishing or other sizeable vessel — PFDs, life rafts, immersion suits, EPIRBs, fire extinguishers, and practice emergency procedures like man overboard, abandon ship, fire fighting and flooding control.
Bring your immersion suit (if you have one) and warm clothing since several hours will be spent outside. Those interested in this course or wanting additional information should contact AMSEA in Sitka at 907-747-3287 or register on our website at
