Safe Deployment
Personnel safety is the number one priority when
deploying a data buoy. Use of proper equipment
(work boat, lifting rig, gloves, safety footwear,
etc.) is essential to safely deploy any buoy
system. Buoy systems are heavy and personnel
can quickly become entangled with mooring lines
and anchors. Safety and flotation gear should be
worn at all times when working on or near the
water.
Remember to perform a complete system test on
shore prior to deployment. Learning the nuances
of the system is much better handled on shore or
in a lab rather than in the field.
