Safety rules on the ship for children and adults

Water transport is striking in its diversity. And many of its types are used not for military purposes or transportation of goods, but for the transport of passengers. That's why everyone is advised to know the safety rules on the ship for children and adults and strictly observe them.

The concept of the safety of children and adults

As a holiday in different cities, the services of a registered motor ship of different directions are offered. Very often, these services are used by visitors with children (or a group of children). Before conducting such a walk it is recommended to understand the concept of ensuring safety on the water. It includes not only the rescue of drowning people, training in swimming, preventive work with children, but also rules of conduct on the ship and the coastline.

Instruction should be given to all who are going to use the following types of water transport:

• Hydrocycles;
• Motor boats;
• Boats;
• Kayaks;
• Sailing ships ;
• Ships.

Particular attention should be paid to walking in a large group of children. Each child needs to explain what can not be done on the ship. To consolidate knowledge, you can ask children to draw a sketch of a poster calling for observance of safety rules on the ship.

Fundamental rules

It is worth remembering that these rules are mandatory for observance not only by children, but also by those who accompany them.

First of all, it is necessary to observe public order, regardless of the size of the ship, as well as requirements for safe navigation, fire safety standards and sanitary requirements. In addition, on each particular ship there are rules that are voiced when landing on it by an instructor. Every passenger is obliged to execute them without delay and without delay. It is forbidden to discuss and question orders. Such actions can only be carried out on the shore, since during the course of the ship on water this person is responsible for the safety of passengers.

Equipment of the ship

To ensure the safety of passengers on the vessel must be present specialized equipment. It complies with the rules for the protection of the health and life of passengers on the water, as well as the existing shipping standards. In particular, each ship that specializes in passenger transportation must be equipped with a sufficient number of life jackets and lifeboats.

Before departure, the instructor informs passengers about the safety rules on the ship, as well as the actions to be taken during the emergency.

What is forbidden to passengers

Regardless of the age, the ship's passengers are prohibited (this is indicated by the safety rules on the ship, which are arranged in the form of posters throughout its territory):

• To interfere with the work of the ship's personnel at every stage of the movement;
• Be in the zone from where the ship is controlled;
• Go outside the existing fences, dive directly from the ship, and in the vicinity of it;
• Bend over fences or sit on them;
• Break the order, throw garbage on board or for it;
• To drink alcohol, be on board in narcotic or alcoholic intoxication;
• Run along the gangways, move on them, without holding on to the handrails;
• Leave electrical appliances in the cabin on if the journey is on such a ship.

In addition, it is inadmissible to smoke in places that are not intended for this purpose.

Landing and landing can not be unauthorized. Visiting office space, as well as opening technical compartments is strictly prohibited. It is necessary to monitor the behavior of children, as well as their compliance with the safety rules on the ship.

There are some restrictions in behavior and on the quay, if the ship's route implies the presence of stops. In particular, ashore passengers are prohibited:

• To climb a ship or go down from it not by the ladder;
• Go out to that part of the quay that is not fenced;
• Bathe in an unidentified place;
• Swim for buoys.

Even during parking, compliance with safety rules on the ship is required.

Safety rules during boarding and boarding

Particular attention should be given to compliance with safety regulations during boarding and disembarkation from the ship. After the vessel has moored to the berth, the employees ensure the readiness of the ladders along which the passengers descend or climb. In some cases, it may be necessary to disembark passengers on boats. They are used in the case when the ship can not approach the pier closely, so that the ladder can be lowered.

How to behave during an emergency situation

First of all, you need to calm down and not give in to panic. During such situations, there are safety rules on the ship that require compliance. Instructors voice all the actions required to perform the action, so you need to listen carefully and follow their instructions.

On alarm, each passenger must go on deck, wearing a life jacket before it . After announcing the beginning of the landing on the boats, prepare to leave the ship (the first is done by women and children, wounded, the last is the captain). You need to do this only at the command of instructors.

When using the rescue circle, it is very important to observe the whole sequence of actions, in particular, in no case should it be allowed to be below the breast.

Water transport is considered one of the safest, since car accidents happen much more often. However, the preservation of a person's life largely depends on the observance of safety rules. Therefore, you need to carefully study the safety rules on the ship even before landing on board. In emergency situations, this knowledge can save lives. When traveling with children, it is recommended to use the sketch "Safety rules on the ship", which demonstrates how to behave aboard.
