1.9 Explain the li fe jacket immersion sui t donning procedures

- Immersion Suits Donning Methods:

o Immersion suit are recognized as an important piece of life saving

equipment. A training variation on this procedure would be to tryputting the suit on the water. Sit on top of the suit and slide one leg at a

time. Next insert right arm, put hood overhead and then the other arm.

Your suit may now be filled with water but your body heat will warmit up.

Step 1. Roll suit out on deck and sit on it. Insert your legs into

suit using plastic bags to make it easier. Leave on boots andother clothing for insulation and protection in water.

Step 2. Place non-dominant arm into suit first. Pull hood

overhead with free hand. Step 3. Place dominant arm last. Pull the zipper up with care

and secure flap over your face.

Step 4. Make sure that all straps and hoses secure to avoid

being snagged or injured. Do not inflate air bladder until you

are in the water.

1.10 Descri be the smoke/f ir e detector in your cabin

- Smoke detectors are typically housed in a disk-shaped plastic enclosure about150 millimetres (6 in) in diameter and 25 millimetres (1 in) thick, but the

shape can vary by manufacturer or product line. Most smoke detectors work

either by optical detection (photoelectric) or by physical process (ionization),while others use both detection methods to increase sensitivity to smoke.

o An optical detector is a light sensor. The components of the light

sensor are the light source (incandescent bulb or Light-emitting diode),

a lens, and a photoelectric receiver (typically a photodiode). In spot-type detectors, all of these components are arranged inside a smoke

chamber where smoke from a nearby fire will flow. In large open areas

such as atria and auditoriums, optical beam smoke detectors are used.

A wall-mounted unit emits a beam of infrared or ultraviolet lightwhich is either received and processed by a separate device or

reflected back to the transmitter/receiver by a reflector.

o

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),"photoelectric smoke detection is generally more responsive to fires

that begin with a long period of smoldering (called smoldering fires)."

Also, studies by Texas A&M and the NFPA cited by the City of Palo

Alto California state, "Photoelectric alarms react slower to rapidlygrowing fires than ionization alarms, but laboratory and field tests

have shown that photoelectric smoke alarms provide adequate warning

for all types of fires and have been shown to be far less likely to bedeactivated by occupants."

o Although optical alarms are highly effective at detecting smoldering

fires and do provide adequate protection from flaming fires, fire safety

experts and the National Fire Protection Agency recommend installingwhat are called combination alarms, which are alarms that either detect

both heat and smoke, or use both the ionization and photoelectric /

optical processes. Also some combination alarms may include acarbon monoxide detection capability.

- Not all optical detection methods are the same. The type and sensitivity of

light source and photoelectric sensor, and type of smoke chamber differbetween manufacturers.
