1 Personal Gear

When deploying oceanographic tools, your personal safety gear is your first line of defense against the unpredictable marine environment. Ensure you have a life jacket that fits well and is suitable for the conditions you'll be facing. Additionally, wearing a safety harness is crucial when working on deck, especially in rough seas, as it can prevent you from being swept overboard. Non-slip footwear and protective clothing are also essential to maintain your footing and protect against the elements. Remember, the gear should not impede your mobility or ability to handle the equipment.

Before thinking about deploying gear/tools consider protecting yourself from the elements before hand! Irritated skin, lethargy and dehydration from exposure to elements such as direct sunlight, saltwater and high temperatures can lead to a disoriented and impaired team member. A lot of field gear is usually "not heavy, just awkward" which means maneuvering can look pretty interesting. Double up on sunscreen, lip balms, UV sunglasses, thin work gloves, electrolyte replenishing dry packets that can be reconstituted in water and non-perishable food snacks! Triple check your PFD the day of departure to the vessel, ensuring all straps can be adjusted and no plastic buckles are missing or damaged. And remember: Safety is a team effort!

2 Training Drills

Regular training drills are vital for ensuring that you and your team know how to react in emergencies. Conduct drills for man-overboard scenarios, equipment malfunctions, and weather-related contingencies. Familiarize yourself with the operation of safety equipment such as life rafts, flares, and emergency beacons. By practicing these drills, you can build muscle memory and reduce panic, enabling a coordinated response that could save lives and equipment in a real emergency.

It's a great idea to have "ta-da!" days when it comes to drills! Put a date in the near future in a hat and have one person draw the paper with the date from the hat. Only that person knows when the drill is going to happen. This could be in the same or upcoming week or however often drills are required. This gives the person sufficient time to discuss with supervisors and go over a check list of what to do and not to do in the event of an emergency. Often times, supervisors are not in the field crew members. There may be a crew lead, but even their skills need to be challenged and refreshed at times! For my last role, one of our drills might be what to do if we are performing snorkel surveys and it begins to downpour?

3 Equipment Checks

Before embarking on your oceanographic mission, thorough equipment checks are non-negotiable. Inspect all tools for signs of wear and tear, ensuring they are in optimal condition for deployment. This includes checking cables for fraying, sensors for accuracy, and housings for integrity. Additionally, verify that all batteries are fully charged and backup systems are operational. Regular maintenance of oceanographic tools not only prevents equipment failure but also ensures the reliability of the data collected.

4 Communication Plans

Maintaining clear communication is crucial when working at sea. Establish a robust communication plan that includes regular check-ins with your team and shore-based support. Equip yourself with a reliable marine radio and know how to use it to communicate with other vessels and coastal authorities. In the event of an emergency, having a predetermined communication protocol can expedite rescue efforts and ensure that everyone is informed of the situation.

5 Weather Monitoring

Weather conditions at sea can change rapidly, so continuous monitoring is essential for operational safety. Before deployment, check forecasts and plan your activities around expected weather patterns. While at sea, use onboard systems to monitor real-time conditions. Should you encounter unexpected weather changes, be prepared to adjust your plans, secure oceanographic tools, or even postpone operations to ensure safety.

6 Emergency Readiness

Finally, being prepared for emergencies is a critical aspect of oceanographic operations. Ensure that all safety equipment, such as life vests, emergency beacons, and first aid kits, are easily accessible and in working order. Have an evacuation plan in place for severe situations, and make sure everyone on board understands their role during an emergency. By being prepared for the worst, you can focus on your research with the confidence that you can handle any situation that arises.
