ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Bad Weather/climate
Sea Creatures (sharks, sting rays,
poisonous fish)
Other water hazards (toxic substances in
the water)

6. Heatstroke- response to heat characterized by
extremely high body temperature and
disturbance of the the sweating mechanism.
Heat Exhaustion- response to heat
characterized by fatigue, weakness and
collapse duet to inadequate intake of water to
compensate for loss of fluid to sweating.

7. Immersion Foot- condition when the
temperature of the tissues of the limbs remains
sub normal but above freezing for a long
period.
Hypothermia-lowering of body temperature due
to exposure to colad air or water or a
combination of low temperature and wind.
Frostbite- when tissue fluids freeze in localize
areas of the body

8. PRIORITIES DURING SURVIVAL
1.PROTECTION
2.SUSTENANCE
3.MEDICAL TREATMENT
4.GENERAL HEALTH
5.TRAINING AND PREPARATION

9. VALUE OF TRAINING AND DRILLS
Training and drills are conducted onboard
to make sure that the crew constantly know
their duties in an emergency

A ring shaped life
preserver
constructed of

3. IMMERSION SUIT- is a protective suit
which reduces the body heat-loss of a
person wearing it in cold water.

19. PERSONAL LIFE SAVING

4. Thermal Protective Aids- it is a bag or suit
made of water proof material with low
thermal conductivity.

22. SURVIVAL CRAFTS
It is a craft capable of sustaining the lives of
persons in distress from the time of
abandoning the ship
Kinds of Survival Craft:
Liferaft
Lifeboat
Rescue boat

23. LIFERAFT

24. LIFEBOAT
Open
Partially enclosed
Totally enclosed

25. RESCUE BOAT

26. ABANDONSHIP
Abandonship should only be considered in
two circumstances:
When all measures to keep the vessel
afloat have failed and the ship is in sinking
condition
It it is no longer possible to remain aboard
