Man Overboard - Making Contact Part 2

http://safetyatseauk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/man-overboard-part-2.html

This is the second in our three-part series of articles, looking at how to prepare for and deal with man overboard situations.

Losing
 a member of crew overboard is a terrifying scenario for every skipper. 
To help ensure a successful outcome and the safe recovery of a casualty,
 plans and procedures should be in place.

Personal equipment to 
enable the crew member to remain afloat, equipment to help you make 
contact with the man over board (MOB), and a means of recovering the 
person from the water safely and quickly should all be considered, and 
the crew should be familiar with using them.

Most importantly, practice your MOB procedures - and then practice them again with someone else in control!
