Includes the easy to use Adobe Acrobat Reader software for viewing and printing inspiration for this booklet came from contact
with more than 2,000 seamen who have made use of
the War Shipping Administration-United Seamen’s
Service Rest Centers. Licensed men in the deck, engine
and steward’s departments, union leaders, oldtimers
in shipping companies, doctors with service at
sea and men of the merchant services of our Allies
have contributed their experiences and ideas. We are
also indebted to the Air Force of the Army and to
the Navy for their contributions on survival.
SAFETY FOR SEAMEN
The seafaring man, by choice as well as by tradition,
is a rugged individualist. No other industry or
profession demands a higher degree of ruggedness.
No other has assumed the responsibility for its own
individuals to a greater degree.
“Safety” has a very special meaning for the seaman.
He faces more hazards than the average, even
in peacetime. He has had to look out for himself in
home ports, sea lanes and foreign countries.
THE RECORD SHOWS THAT THE SEAMAN HAS HAD
MORE ACCIDENTS AND A HIGHER RATE OF CERTAIN
DISEASES THAN MEN IN MOST INDUSTRIES. THIS IS
NOT NECESSARY AND NEED NOT CONTINUE.
Part of the responsibility lies with others, but to
some degree it remains with each man. Improved
conditions are essential but not enough. Safety and
health also depend on what each man knows and
how he acts.
The best possible safety devices will be worthless
if you don’t know how and when to use them. You may know all about diet but it’s what you eat that
counts. You won’t keep well unless you learn how to
prevent disease. If you should get sick, the finest
medical care ashore can’t help you unless you seek
treatment and follow the doctor’s advice.
The success of the War of Transportation depends
on a small force. The responsibility of each of you
to continue to give your best is correspondingly great.
It is not necessary to go over the side in order to
feel the strain of war. “Convoy fatigue,” nervousness,
anxiety, inability to sleep, and loss of appetite may
occur when men have lived with the probability of
attack or have not had enough rest between hazardous
voyages. You can learn how to lessen the effect
of strain and increase your ability to take it. Men
sailing the seven seas are facing the same problems
as you are and solving them.
This booklet aims to tell you how. The rules are
simple but you have to know them all. You never
know which of them you will need. We print them
below as your Ten Commandments. The details make
up the book.
