Maritime: Man Overboard Prevention for the Inland Waterways

This video training course teaches inland vessel crew members how to reduce the risk and appropriately respond in the case of a man overboard incident. Man overboard situations account for 83% of inland vessel workday fatalities according to a recent study. These are not weather related incidences, but preventable accidents due to poor training, planning, supervision, communication, and other correctable practices.

Viewers learn safe work practices, techniques for surviving if they fall overboard, techniques to rescue a crew member who has fallen overboard, and other best practices to increase the safety of all crew members.

Preventing man overboard situations should be the number one rule of all vessels. Proper training for the crew is an important tool in keeping all crew members safe. Use this Video On Demand to prepare your crew to prevent and respond to man overboard incidents.
