	A study was performed to develop recommended approaches
	for the Coast Guard to take in establishing requirements
	for merchant vessel survival (lifesaving and
	firefighting) equipment routine maintenance information
	and the continuing training and drills of the vessel's
	crew in the use of that equipment. A background study
	included review of marine casualties, interviews of 48
	industry and government maritime officials and visits to
	nine ships and drill rigs. Study indicated inadequate
	knowledge of survival procedures, lack of leadership and
	correct decision-making in emergencies, inadequate
	assignment of duties and responsibilities, unreadable or
	unclear posted operating instructions, lack of
	maintenance information or programs, inadequate
	maintenance, unrealistic and unproductive drills, lack of
	liferaft training, shortage of good training materials
	particularly films, and a need for more shore
	firefighting training. Efforts to train on board ship are
	frustrated by rapid crew turnover and lack of motivation.
	Principal recommendations are to institute uniform,
	comprehensive requirements for posted operating
	instructions; require documented maintenance programs;
	revise requirements for drills to make them more
	realistic; develop a Shipboard Survival Training Guide;
	enforce more stringent inspections of drills; produce
	survival training films; require pre-sea and periodic
	refresher survival training; and develop emergency
	situation leadership and decision-making courses.
