Your boat should also be equipped with at least a simple marine first-aid kit and a first-aid manual.
The first-aid kit should be designed for the marine environment and be well supplied. It should be
accessible and each person on board should be aware of its location. As supplies are used, replace
them promptly. Some common drugs and antiseptics may lose their strength or become unstable
as they age. Ask a medical professional about the supplies you should carry and the safe shelf life
of prescription drugs or other medical supplies that may be in your first-aid kit. Replace
questionably old supplies whether they have been used or not.
In many emergency situations, the Coast Guard can provide assistance in obtaining medical advice
for treatment of serious injuries or illness. If you are within VHF range of a Coast Guard Station,
make the initial contact on channel 16 and follow their instructions.
11.9 Additional Safety Equipment
Besides meeting the legal requirements, prudent boaters carry additional safety equipment. This
is particularly important if you operate your boat offshore. You should consider the following
items, depending on how you use your boat.
Satellite EPIRBS
EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) operate as part of a worldwide distress
system. When activated, EPIRBs will send distress code homing beacons that allow Coast Guard
aircraft to identify and find them quickly. The satellites that receive and relay EPIRB signals are
operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States.
The EPIRB should be mounted and registered according to the instructions provided with the
beacon, so that the beacon's unique distress code can be used to quickly identify the boat and owner.
