Lifeboats, though designed with a view to saving you from trouble at sea, are not infallible. Nothing is. Of course, they do their job and they do it well, but this is not to say that they cannot themselves be involved in an accident. • The Main Causes of Lifeboat Accidents • A recent study published by the International Maritime Organization and the Maritime Safety Committee stated that the following categories cover the overwhelming majority of lifeboat accidents that involved the injury or death of a crew person: • the failure of the on-load release mechanism; • the accidental usage of the on-load release mechanism; • the insufficient maintenance of lifeboats, launch equipment and davits; • failures in communication; • a lack of familiarity with lifeboats and the associated equipment; • unsafe practices during lifeboat inspections and drills; and • other design faults. • Thankfully, the vast majority of accidents on lifeboat occur during drills, perhaps because people are less alert than they’d normally be, because it’s not a “real” situation. People can become lax when partaking in something that is more or less a routine operation. • The fact that these accidents more frequently take place during practices means that fatalities tend to be lower, although they do still occur, taking the lives of trained professionals. • #Lifeboat #Accident #Prevention • Don't Forget to Subscribe Us • Like Facebook: / marineonlineyoutube • Follow Twitter: / marineonlineyou • Follow Google+ https://plus.google.com/1074502344259... • Website: https://marineonlineyou.blogspot.com/
