 Lesson 1: All about Personal Survival Techniques Presentation of picture in
every area in much needed to show for additional learning process.

• The STCW Personal Survival Techniques (sea survival course) module provides knowledge of essential prevention
and survival techniques. It includes both theoretical and practical sessions, investigating causes of distress,
knowledge and use of equipment, launch and recovery of life rafts, preparation for survival, personal survival skills
and use of search and rescue organizations

• Personal Survival Techniques it includes both theoretical and practical sessions, investigating causes of distress,
knowledge and use of equipment, launch and recovery of life rafts, preparation for survival, personal survival skills
and use of search and rescue organizations.

• There is several Personal Survival Technique training. First is the Donning of a life jacket, Donning and use of an
immersion suit, Safely entering the water from a height, Righting an inverted life raft, Swimming while wearing a
life jacket, and lastly Keeping afloat.

• Donning of a life jacket

As we see in the picture above this shows on how to properly open or use a life jacket. And on the time
scale 20 seconds is the fastest time you can wear a life jacket. Swimming while wearing a life jacket can
keep you afloat.
• Donning and use an immersion suit

• The immersion suit should be unpacked and donned within a time frame of 2 minutes without any
external help or assistance. The individual must be able to jump from a height of at least 4.5 meters into
water without injury to life of any damage to the immersion suit.

• Safely entering water from a height

• The safest way to land (or jump) into water

is with your arms pressed firmly against your
sides in a pencil dive position. What is this?
Keep your body tight and point your feet
down. If you land wrong, you’ll feel like you
hit a brick wall.
• Righting an inverted life raft

• If the life raft inflates and it is upside down, the raft has a righting strap capable of stabilizing
it. Climb onto the CO2 cylinder and pull it in the same direction as the wind to do so.

• Swimming while wearing a life jacket

• A life jacket can protect you from waves and rapid currents as well as keep you safe if you
become fatigued. Due to the bulkiness of a life jacket, you will need to ensure a proper fit of the
life jacket before attempting to swim. While swimming with a life jacket you can opt to use your
arms, legs or both.
• Keeping afloat

• To help you float, you can take a deep breath and hold it to turn your chest and lungs into a flotation
device. Gentle motions of your hands and arms can also help to keep your chest up and your head above
water.
Lesson 2: Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting
• Fires on board ships can be prevented by finding and rectifying leakages of fuel oil, lubricating oil, and
exhaust gases. In a ship's generator room, the biggest danger of fire is from a leaky high pressure fuel
pipe.

• The best way to deal with fires on board ships is to prevent them rather than letting them occur.
Breaking out of fire in a place where no fire exist is called “ignition”, whereas “flash” is a term used for
fire eruption in a new place as a result of flames from an existing fire in a nearby place (the ignition
source). Fires on board ships can be prevented by finding and rectifying leakages of fuel oil, lubricating
oil, and exhaust gases. In a ship’s generator room, the biggest danger of fire is from a leaky high
pressure fuel pipe. Oil leaking from such pipe can fall on high temperature exhaust manifold or on
indicator cocks, which are sensitive points for catching fire. In modern marine engines, there is push-
type cover concealing the indicator cocks; however in old engines there is no such provision available
which makes it quite difficult to provide lagging to indicator cocks.

• The significance of firefighting equipment.

Fire safety is an indispensable part of buildings and homes. There is a sharp increase in the number of
deaths caused by the fire-related incidents. Therefore it is important to ensure the security of buildings
and individuals with the proper fire protection and firefighting equipment. The firefighting equipment
also ensures the safety of firefighters who risk their lives to save others.The significance of firefighting
equipment

Here introduce some major firefighting equipment:

• Fire Extinguisher

- A fire extinguisher is a fire protection device used to put out or control small fires, often in emergency
situations. It is the primary need of any building including homes as well. Every building should have an
ample number of fire extinguishers to ensure fire safety. Depending on the types of fire, different types
of fire extinguishers are available in the market.

• Fire Alarms

- Fire alarms have the role to save lives, prevent injuries and minimize damage by alerting you to a fire
as soon as smoke is sensed. It is the first and the most important component of a full proof fire
protection system. The alarm sound can be set to certain frequencies of different tones.

• Fire blankets

- Fire blankets are safety devices that are designed to extinguish starting fire. The blankets are really
helpful in preventing the fire from spreading. The use of blanket along with Fire extinguisher produces
good results. These non-flammable blankets are helpful in temperatures up to 900 degrees and are
useful in extinguishing fires by not allowing any oxygen to the fire.
• Fire Sprinklers

- When the fire broke out, the fire sprinklers discharge water with a constant pressure and force. This is
a major component of the fire protection system that is highly effective in preventing major fires. Fire
sprinklers alone have the capacity to control more than 90% of fires.

• Fire Hose

- Fire hose has a big role in extinguishing the fire. The high-pressure hose carries water or other fire
retardants to a fire to oppress it. A building should have this important firefighting system. After the use,
usually, the fire hose is hung to dry since the standing water inside the hose can deteriorate the material
inside it.

• What is Fire fighting?

- Firefighting is the act of attempting to prevent the spread of and extinguish significant unwanted fires
in buildings, vehicles, and woodlands. A firefighter suppresses fires to protect lives, property and the
environment. Firefighters typically undergo a high degree of technical training.
• What is Fire prevention?

- Fire prevention is a function of many fire departments. The goal of fire prevention is to educate the
public to take precautions to prevent potentially harmful fires, and beeducated about surviving them. It
is a proactive method of preventing fire-based emergencies and reducing the damage caused by them.
Lesson 3: Elementary First-Aid
• What is Elementary First-Aid?
- Elementary first aid
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) it is an emergency procedure used on casualties suffering
from a heart attack or cardiac arrest to preserve the casualty’s body for defibrillation. When
you suspect a heart attack or cardiac arrest has occurred, you must approach the casualty as
you would in any emergency First Aid circumstance.

- Three C’s of an Emergency & Three P’s of First Aid

It can be difficult to think clearly in the midst of an emergency. Training your brain before you
find yourself in a high-pressure situation may help you save a life or potentially help someone in
pain. There are three basic C’s to remember—check, call, and care. When it comes to first aid,
there are three P’s to remember—preserve life, prevent deterioration, and promote recovery.

The Three C’s of Emergency

1. Check

Check means checking for anything unsafe. If the emergency is surrounded by danger,
assistance may be needed. Rushing into a scene without taking in present dangers may lead to
more harm for yourself or others. For example, if there a car wreck happens in a high traffic
area or there is someone in need of help in a fire, you will need to seek assistance. Check the
scene before entering it. Take the evolution of the scene. Next check if the victim is breathing.
You may need to give specific care such as CPR.

2. Call

In emergency situations, it’s important to call 911 immediately. As a first responder, act right
away to get help from professionals. Inspect the scene, gather needed information—check for
breathing and pulse from any victims, and any other helpful information. Provide correct
information for local authorities and get them involved as soon as possible.

3. Care

After checking the scene and calling for help, provide care until medical professionals arrive on
the scene. Monitor the victims breathing. You may need to stop bleeding or perform CPR.
Follow the circulation-airway-breathing of first aid.
The Three P’s of First Aid

1. Preserve Life

As a first responder to any situation, you first priority should be to preserve life.
You may need to perform CPR, stop bleeding or take other action to preserve the
victim’s life. Start with C-A-B—circulation, airway, and breathing. Asses the quality
of the victim’s circulation, adjust if needed. Ensure that the victim has no blocks
to their airway and that they are breathing. The goal is to prevent the condition
from worsening in any way.

2. Prevent Deterioration

Do what you can to keep the victim in stable condition until medical professionals arrive. The
goal is to prevent the condition from worsening and prevent any potential further injury. This
may mean moving the victim to a safer location, applying first aid, stabilizing them, or just
staying with the victim and providing comfort.

3. Promote Recovery

After you’ve done what you can do with first aid treatment, your job now is to promote
recovery. This can be done by encouraging confidence, providing comfort, attempting to relieve
pain, and so on.

These tips and tricks for emergency situations and first aid will likely differ based on your
specific situation. But remembering the basics of what to do may help you save a life or prevent
further pain. Know these simple steps before you find yourself i n a situation where it’s hard to
think clearly.
 Lesson 4: Personal Safety and Social Responsibility

• Personal Safety and Social Responsibility
