Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) will offer a one day 10-hour fishing vessel safety and drill conductor course in Homer on Thursday February 2, 2012 at the Best Western Bidarka Inn, starting at 8am. This course meets the U.S. Coast Guard 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.
