Človek v morju: kaj storiti

Nazadnje preverjeno: 14. oktober 2026

Korak za korakom

1. Kričite in kažite

   Zakričite »Človek v morju!«, da vsi na krovu vedo. Eni osebi dajte edino nalogo, da kaže na osebo v vodi in nikoli ne pogleda stran.[1][2][3][4]

2. Vrzite nekaj, kar plava

   Vrzite rešilni obroč, vrv za metanje ali reševalni jopič čim bližje osebi. Pomaga ji ostati na površju in označuje, kje je.[5][6]

3. Pritisnite MOB

   Pritisnite gumb MOB na kartnem ploterju ali GPS, da označite položaj, kjer je oseba padla v vodo.[5]

4. Pošljite MAYDAY

   Pritisnite in držite gumb za stisko DSC, nato oddajte klic MAYDAY na VHF kanalu 16. Povejte, da je oseba padla čez krov, navedite položaj in koliko oseb je na krovu.[7][8][9][10]

5. Upočasnite in se vrnite

   Upočasnite, ustavite se, če lahko, in se vrnite, takoj ko je mogoče. Ves čas imejte osebo na očeh.[11][12][13]

6. Izberite način vrnitve

   Transport Canada opisuje dva obrata za motorna plovila: Andersonov (enojni) obrat, najhitrejši, za mirno vodo in dobro vidljivost, ter Williamsonov obrat, kadar ste se odzvali pozno ali je vidljivost slaba. Plujte počasi in imejte propeler daleč stran od osebe.[14][15][16]

7. Približajte se bočno v prostem teku

   Ustavite se bočno ob osebi z motorjem v prostem teku. Transport Canada svetuje, da plovilo pripeljete na privetrno stran osebe in jo dvignete na privetrni strani.[17][18]

8. Spravite jo nazaj na krov

   Osebo privlecite do plovila s plavajočo vrvjo ali rešilnim obročem, privezanim na plovilo. Za dvig uporabite lestev ali zanko za dviganje. Ne skačite v vodo za njo.[18][19][20]

9. Ogrejte jo in poiščite zdravniško pomoč

   Vsakdo, potegnjen iz hladne vode, je lahko podhlajen, kar je nujno medicinsko stanje. Spravite osebo v zavetje, slecite ji mokra oblačila, jo zavijte in ji pokrijte glavo ter obvestite reševalno službo.[21][22]

Ne

• Ne skačite v vodo za osebo. Vrzite nekaj, kar plava, in ukrepajte s plovila.[20][6]
• Ne umaknite pogleda z osebe. Nekoga v vodi je lahko izgubiti izpred oči.[13]
• Ne približujte se z vrtečim se propelerjem. Ko ste bočno ob osebi, dajte motor v prosti tek.[12][17]
• Podhlajene osebe ne ogrevajte z vročo kopeljo ali termoforjem in ji ne drgnite rok in nog.[23]

Pred izplutjem

• Pred izplutjem: posadki razložite postopek ob padcu človeka v morje in kako poklicati pomoč ter določite namestnika, ki zna voziti plovilo in uporabljati radio.[24]
• Nosite reševalni jopič. V slabem vremenu razmislite o varnostnem pasu in varovalni vrvi, pritrjeni na plovilo.[25][26]
• Če ima vaše plovilo varnostno vrvico za izklop motorja (kill cord), pred odhodom preverite, ali deluje.[27]
• Načrtujte, kako bi nekoga spravili nazaj na krov, na primer z lestvijo ali zanko za dviganje.[28][19]
