Safety equipment is a one-step further initiative so
that we can prevent such incidents to happen
With this step the percentage of workers that getting
into accident while working has decraese
However there still some unfortunate event that still
happen due to the malfunction of the safety
equipment
Today we will present to you about two safety
equipment which is Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacon (EPIRB) and Liferaft
EMERGENCY POSITION INDICATING
RADIO BEACON (EPIRB)

First established in 1967

Developed and installed on
board for the first time by
Jotron with the name Tron-1
Use to alert search and
rescue service in

taking safety measure
 LIFERAFT
A temporary floating shelter for crew and
passengers to keep their safe until help
come

capable of
withstanding exposure minimum carrying
for 30 days afloat in all capacity must be at
sea conditions least six people and the
maximum weight of its
The first life raft was container, as well as the

Has 2 EPIRBs on board but could not guaranteed
rescue
Confusion caused by GPRIB's registration

the gas inflation system and not build to meet any
specific requirement for small fishing vessel
HOW TO PREVENT

1 2
Introducing minimum bouyancy To have the life raft
requirement of the liferaft maintained and serviced
The technical committee of the regularly to ensure maximum
International Organization for safety while on the boat
Standardization later agreed The manufacturer's
to include a buoyancy guidelines should be followed
requirement in its revised for the proper liferaft
liferaft standard servicing period
HOW TO USE EPIRB
 The procedure to do so is as follows:
1. Press and release the test button on the EPIRB.
2. The red lamp on the EPIRB should flash once.
3. Within 30 seconds of pressing the button, the strobe, as well as the
red light, should flash several times.
4. After 60 seconds of operation, the EPIRB will switch off.
HOW TO USE LIFERAFT
 Let us take safety more
