Fishing Safety Toolkit

Fishing safety does not just happen on the water. It happens in supply stores, processing plants, at the dock, and in community spaces all around us. We all play a role in making safety a priority this season.
 
Use these resources in your workplace to show your commitment to fishing safety, and encourage others to follow safety guidelines before they leave the shore.

As Captain of your vessel, your crew is depending on you to put safety first. When you make safety a priority for your crew, you’re also looking out for the kids, spouses, and family members who love them.

Commit to these safety practices:

  1. PFDs are mandatory for all crew members.
  2. Keep Your Crew Informed: Crew knows where everything is located and how to operate all equipment and electronics on board.
  3. Practice Safety Drills: Practice protocols like the evacuation procedure to help reduce panic in an emergency.
  4. Use a Pre-Sailing Checklist: Every time you leave shore, complete a safety checklist to ensure equipment and supplies are stored properly, in working condition, and easy to access.
  5. Check weather conditions before you leave the shore: If conditions are stormy, consider a delayed departure.
