Practical, field-tested guidance, informed by international insights and experiences across multiple water response groups. Submitted by SoS personnel and members.
This library gathers concrete recommendations from practitioners and researchers — small decisions that keep crews safe. Delving into details to maximize operational excellence and prevent avoidable pitfalls. Example: when performing a man-overboard rescue/recovery with no tether and no supporting crew member available, the person reaching for the in-water casualty should where practicable keep one hand holding onto the boat.
