PASSENGER SAFETY
Before getting underway, show all
passengers where emergency and
safety equipment is stowed,
and
explain how to use it. Everyone
aboard should wear rubber-soled
shoes which resist slipping on wet
surfaces.
While underway, passen-
gers should remain seated inside the
deck rails.
Don't allow passengers
to drag their feet or hands in the
water.
Always use handholds and
other safety hardware to prevent falls.
All non-swimmers, poor swimmers,
and children should wear a PFD at
all times. Federal regulations require
that children under 13 years of age
wear a PFD when the boat is under-
way unless they are in an enclosed
cabin or below deck.
First Aid
As a boat operator, you should be fa-
miliar with basic first aid procedures
that may be needed while you are far
from help. Fish hook accidents or mi-
nor cuts and abrasions may be the
most serious mishaps on board a boat,
but you should also learn the prop-
er procedures and be ready to deal
with the truly serious problems like
excessive bleeding, hypothermia, and
burns. First aid literature and courses
are available through most Red Cross
chapters.
Operation by Minors
Minors should always be supervised
by an adult whenever operating a
boat. Many states have laws regard-
ing the minimum age and licensing
requirements of minors. Be sure to
contact the state boating authorities
for information.
BRP recommends
a minimum operator age of 16 years
old.
