TAB 14    Safety and Emergencies

For the most part, U.S. Navy ships are very safe places to live and work. But the safety enjoyed aboard an American naval vessel is only as effective as the safety practices of its individual crewmembers. Safety precautions are an essential element of shipboard life, and you owe it to yourself and to your shipmates to make safety precautions a part of your everyday routine.
