Maritime Questions › Safety & Emergency
During an emergency drill, it becomes apparent that two crew members do not know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher to their cabin, despite having completed basic safety familiarisation on joining. What does this indicate, and what should the Master do?
A. Discipline the two crew members for not remembering
B. Only relevant if a real fire occurs
C. It indicates the familiarisation process may not be effective for all crew (e.g. rushed, language barriers, or simply not retained); the Master should review and strengthen the familiarisation/induction process — possibly including a walk-through and a basic check of retention — rather than treating this as an isolated lapse by those two individuals
D. Nothing — as long as they know where the muster station is, extinguisher locations are less important
