Description
This book is a must-have for boat captains. Prepared by the Alaska Health Project, the illustrated book describes hazards, activities at risk, precautions to take, and procedures for spills. Instruction is provided on how to interpret a material safety data sheet, the key information source for all hazardous products. Respirators, gloves, and other personal protective equipment are described, and references are listed for emergency help and information (most are in Alaska). In the second edition, University of Alaska experts in risk management have revised all sections, and references and contacts have been updated. The U.S. Coast Guard has used this book for safety training sessions since 1992.
