.1 Periodic drills should be conducted simulating
the emergency conditions included on the muster list. All personnel
should report to their respective stations and be prepared to perform
the duties assigned to them. Instructions should be given as necessary
to ensure that all persons are familiar with the alarm signals and
with their duties and stations.
.2 Drills should be so conducted as to ensure
that persons who cannot participate in an emergency drill on one date
will participate in the same type of drill held at the next drill
period. Drills should be held as necessary to ensure that all personnel
participate at least once a month and the action be recorded in the
official logbook or tour report as applicable.
.3 When drills involve rigid survival craft, such
craft should if reasonable and practical in the opinion of the person
in charge, be launched at least once very four months. Survival craft
equipment should be examined on a regular basis to ensure that it
is complete.
