OnBoard Basic Safety Training Program- Onboard First Aid: Immediate Actions

Targeted at entry-level personnel, this program meets onboard basic safety training requirements for elementary first aid and includes a workbook.

The Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping require all shipboard personnel to be capable of undertaking an effective immediate action in response to a medical emergency.

Junior officers must meet an intermediate level of emergency medical proficiency.  Senior officers designated as persons in charge of onboard medical care must be proficient at advanced treatment procedures and case management strategies.

Photographed aboard deep-sea vessels ranging from tugs and fishing vessels to container ships and tankers, these skills videos demonstrate professionally executed emergency medical techniques and procedures in documentary fashion, with a minimum of theory. The instructional content consists of highly realistic emergency scenarios, with extensive use of digital video effects to enhance the demonstrations of emergency medical procedures. The Workbook is comprehensively illustrated with key images excerpted from the program.
