Moss Landing Marine Labs

There will be an abandon ship drill at the start of every multiple day cruise.   In addition, the ship’s Marine Technician will instruct the science party in the safe operation of any shared-use equipment.   Training will also be given to those required to operate either of the ship’s movable frames.

The R/V Point Sur provides work vests and hardhats to the science party.   The ship requires all scientific personnel to wear work vests during over-the-side operations.   The use of hardhats is left up to the discretion of the individual or Chief Scientist.

(see above)

It is the responsibility of the Chief Scientist to oversee the safe operation of all laboratory equipment.   If the ship’s Marine Technician observers something unsafe, he/she will first bring it to the attention of the Chief Scientist.   If problem is not addressed or continues to be a problem, the entire science operation will be halted until the situation is rectified.

Scientists must follow the protocols submitted on their isotope permit.   Failure to do so will result in the halting of science operations until any issues are resolved.

These are left up to the discretion of the Chief Scientist.
