NAPVO Releases

Safety Manual

The release of the National Asso- ciation of Passenger Vessel Owners' (NAPVO) Safety and Training Pro- gram Manual has been announced by Coe Sherrard, NAPVO's presi- dent. "This document serves as a comprehensive manual to train crew members about the safe operation of small passenger vessels. It was developed by the Safety and Train- ing Committee, with the assistance of Marsh and McLennan and should be a valuable addition to any com- pany's training program, Mr. Sher- rard said.

The program addresses such top- ics as development of a safety policy statement, safety inspections, em- ployee hazard recognition, incident reporting, ship personnel responsi- bilities, and operations. The manual was designed to help establish a basic set of operating and training guidelines for deckhands, captains, restaurant and entertainment per- sonnel and may be used to develop a formal written company training program.

Copies of the manual have been provided free to all NAPVO mem- bers. Additional copies may be or- dered at a cost of $10 each. To order, contact Marsh and McLennan, 10
