Safety and Operations

Lightning Precautions

A vessel at sea may be susceptible to lightning strikes. If the vessel is struck by lightning check for injuries

and apply any first aid as may be required. Also:

• Check all electrical components, including compasses to determine if damage or a change in calibration has

occurred.

• Check the vessel for physical damage, system integrity, and continuity to ground.

If caught in a lightning storm, the minimum precautions that shall be applied are:

• All occupants shall remain inside the boat.

• Occupants shall not enter the water. Arms and legs shall not dangle in the water.

• Occupants shall refrain from making contact with components in such a way as to become an electrical bridge

between such items.

• Avoid contact with any metal components that could conduct electrical current.

It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to become familiar with the dangers of lightning and learn all the

precautions necessary to protect the crew, passengers, and vessel in the event of a lightning storm.
