Thirty five percent of all on the job
fatalities result from motor vehicle accidents. This section of the program
promotes safety precautions and practices that can be used to lessen the
chance of motor vehicle accidents. These include vehicle maintenance, the
physical and mental condition of the driver, basic driving skills, and driving
at night or in bad weather.
Crewboat Safety:
The "Crewboat Safety" section
encourages safe transfer practices such as wearing required personal safety
equipment, knowing the location of PFD's, lifeboats, lifefloats and other
safety devices, avoiding back injuries while loading, and acting responsibly
during emergency situations.

Rope Safety:
A swing rope allows personnel to transfer
at water level from the boat to the platform. The viewer learns the methods
of transfer for heavy and lightweight cargoes. The programs shows the proper
method of using the swingrope and how to assist other crewmembers after

Statistically, flying in a helicopter
is a safer mode of transportation than driving in a car. However, a helicopter
can be very intimidating for inexperienced crewmembers. This section discusses
passenger guidelines, such as providing the correct total weight of himself
and his gear to the dispatcher, approaching the helicopter from the front,
avoiding the tail rotor, and listening to the pilot's preflight briefing.
