General background:
Safety is the most important item an Ocean Ranger can check. For all other checks safety
should be considered, as well as during activities such as boarding a ship. Always be vigilant for
personal safety, and watch for safety concerns for passengers and crew. All safety concerns
observed should be immediately reported to the vessel’s crew and your primary onboard
contacts.
Many of the other section items that you will be checking are because of safety or sanitation.
For example with wastewater some of the standards are to protect recreational users or
shellfish consumers in Alaska.
