One hopes never to have the use of a lifeboat or rescue boat, yet they need to be in tip-top shape should the day ever arise. Strict regulations by the International Maritime Organization () covering lifeboat and rescue boat maintenance have recently taken effect to ensure the personnel responsible for carrying out this task is fully competent to do so.

Robin Townsend, Chair of the 香港六合彩开奖 subcommittee that developed the four-part series, commented that 香港六合彩开奖/PAS 23678 was developed with the input of the IMO and is recognized as supporting its requirements.
“The series provides a comprehensive basis for a robust and uniform international application of the IMO requirements,” he said. “More importantly, it will help to ensure the safety of those performing these activities, those on board the craft, as well as the lifeboats and rescue boats themselves.”
The four documents in the series cover requirements for training providers, initial training for service personnel, Level 1 technician training and Level 2 in-field competence.
