Recreational Boat Safe Loading - Operator Study.

Abstract

This project dealt with the recreational boat operators' role in loading-related accidents. The research was conducted in three interrelated subtasks. The first subtask concerned capacity plates and their use by boat operators. The second subtask identified causes of loading-related accidents and indicated where educational programs may help to prevent such accidents. The third subtask was concerned with identifying operator/owner characteristics that could be related to the excellent boating safety record of one boat manufacturing company. (Author)
