Intended primarily for seafarers. It provides information which will help you if you are unlucky enough to fall into cold water, or have to enter it in an emergency, or have to use survival craft in cold conditions. Will help seafarers, trained as first-aid providers, to treat those rescued from cold conditions. It briefly examines the hazards of exposure to the cold that may endanger life, and provides advice based on the latest medical and scientific opinion on how to prevent or minimize those dangers. It is a sad fact that people continue to die at sea through a lack of this knowledge. A thorough understanding of the information contained in this booklet may some day save your life - or someone else's.
