Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) will offer two opportunities to participate in a 10-hour fishing vessel safety and drill conductor course in Anchorage during November and December.

The first course will be held on Saturday November 19 and the second course will be held on Saturday December 3, 2011 at the North Pacific Fisheries Observer Training Center at 707 A Street, Ste 207, Anchorage.

The course meets the 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.
