　　４ 船上培训和指导４．１ 在新船员上船后，应在不迟于两个星期内就如何使用包括救生艇筏设备在内的船上救生设备和船上消防设备给予船上培训和指导。但是，如果船舶的船员是定期轮换的，则此种培训应在船员第一次上船后不迟于两个星期内进行。每次指导应涉及船舶救生和消防的不同方面；但在任何２个月的期限内，应涉及到该船的所有救生和消防设备。４．２每一船员均应得到指导；指导应包括但不一定局限于：

　　．１ 船舶气胀式救生筏的操作和使用；

　　．２ 低温受冻、低温受冻急救和其它有关的急救程序问题；

　　．３ 在恶劣天气和恶劣海况中使用该船救生设备所必需的特别指导；

　　．４ 消防设备的操作和使用。４．３ 有关如何使用吊柱降放的救生筏的船上培训，应在不超过４个月的间隔期中在每艘装有此种设备的船上举行。凡可行时，此种培训应包括救生筏的充气和降下。此种救生筏可以是仅供培训使用的、不作为船舶救生设备组成部分的专用救生筏。此种救生筏应做有明显标志。５记录

　　举行集合的日期、弃船演习和消防演习的详细情况、其它的救生设备演习和船上培训，应在主管机关可能做出规定的日志上做出记录。如果在指定时间内未举行全面的集合操演、演习或培训，则应在日志中做出记录，写明所举行的集合操演、演习或培训的细节和范围。”第Ⅴ章航行安全
