SUMMARY

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Anyone on board who discovers an emergency must first activate the
nearest alarm switch. He must ensure that the Deck Officer on duty is
informed without delay as to the nature and location of the emergency,
and then proceed to his Emergency Station. In the case of a minor fire,
after the alarm has been raised, an attempt should be made to tackle it
with minor fire appliances. In case of a more serious fire, doors should
be shut and the area secured before evacuating it. All alarm signals are
shown on the Muster List. It is essential that all crew members are
aware of the meaning of the various alarm signals in use on board. In all
cases, signals are to be backed up with information on the ship's public
address system, where fitted.
