READY, AIM, PUT OUT THE FIRE
The US Coast Guard (USCG) submitted a paper in July 1994 to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) seeking to improve operational readiness in shipboard fire protection. The paper proposed a number of human performance and technical initiatives through amendments and guidelines to SOLAS. The USCG proposed that IMO should issue performance standards for industry training and evaluation in all three areas of concern: fire prevention; operational readiness of fire suppression systems; and fire fighting.
