Bahamas Maritime Authority: Use of Fall Preventer Devices (FPD)

Source:  Bahamas Maritime Authority

Note for all seafarers:
SOLAS does not require anybody to be inside the boats when being lowered. Most of the lifeboat accidents involve inadvertent release of hooks due to complicated design/ lack of training. FPD are intended to protect against the consequences of an unintended release of the hook. It is simple to use- and may save your life one day.
