8 On a ship engaged on a voyage where passengers
are scheduled to be on board for more than 24 hours, it is recommended
that the muster of newly-embarked passengers should take place prior
to the departure at every port of embarkation. In cases where new
passengers arrive after the above muster has been completed, they
should be promptly provided with individual or group safety briefingsfootnote.
9 To support the Master in preparing or revising
the Muster List, companies owning and/or operating passenger ships
should consider adopting a process that positively matches each crew
member assigned to emergency duties with any required training and/or
certification, whether by regulations or company policy. Such process
may include the use of a paper-based or automated system on board
that can effectively prevent assignment of a crew member to an emergency
duty where the crew member is not trained or certified for such duty.
