1 14. Personal Survival Techniques Course Framework 1. Aims The course aims to meet the mandatory minimum requirements for seafarers for familiarization, basic safety training and instruction in accordance with section A-VI/1 of the STCW Code. 2. Objectives This syllabus covers the requirements of the STCW Convention Chapter VI, Section A-VI/1. On meeting the minimum standard of competence in personal survival tecnigues, a trainee will be able to survive at sea in the event of ship abandonment. The trainee will be able to: - don a lifejacket - don and use an immersion suit - safely jump from a height into the water - right an inverted liferaft while wearing a lifejacket - swim while wearing a lifejacket - keep afloat without a lifejacket - board a survival craft from ship and water while wearing a lifejacket - take initial actions on boarding survival craft to enhance chance of survival - stream a drogue or sea-anchor - operate survival craft equipment - operate location devices, including radio equipment 3. Entry standards s The course is [roncipally intended as basic training for seafarers employed or engaged in any capacity on board ship as part as part of the ship s complement with designated safety duties in operation of the ship. There are no particular educational requirements. All trainees must be certified by a doctor to be in good gealth. 4. Course certificate On successful completion of the course and demonstration of competence, a document may be issued certifying that the holder has met the standard of competence specified in Table A-VI/1-1 of STCW. A certificate may be issued only by centres approved by the administration. 5. Course intake limitations The maximum number of trainees attending each session will depend on the availability of instructors, equipment and facilities available for conducting the training. The number should not, at any time, exceed that which will allow sufficient opportunity for each trainee to have adequate practical enstruction on procedures for the proper use of systems and equipment.

2 6. Staff requirements The instructor shall have appropriate training in instructional techniques and training methods (STCW Code, Section A-I/6, para. 7 ) 7. Training facilities and equipment Ordinary classroom facilities and an overhead projector are required for the lectures. In addition, a demonstration table measuring 3m by 1 m would be an advantage. Then making use of audiovisual material such as videos or slides, make sure the appropriate equipment is available. The practical lessons require access to water, i.e a swimming pool, a lake or the sea. The following items of equipment are required 36 lifegackets 5 inflatable lifejackets 1 lifeboys 1 1 rigid liferaft 2 twenty-person inflatable lifrrafts for wet drills 1 SART operating on 9 GHz frequency Survival suits Complete set of liferaft equipment Complete set of lifeboat equipment 1 emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) operating on 460 MHz Shark repellent Safety/first-aid equipment comprising - high-sleed rescue boat - powerful searchlights - light-reflecting badges - stretcher - first-aid kit - resuscitation kit with oxygen/suction unit
