Winder is operated by winch men and eliminates hazardous operation by fishermen in front of winch. To reduce the hazards of trawl winch op- erations, installation of level wire winders has been urged particularly in manually steering trawl wire on the drums. Adoption of this measure has been moderately good-- mostly confined to newer vessels in the large otter trawl class. Marine Safety Messages In 1961, BCF initiated a series of vessel safety bulletins pointing out hazards and potential accident sources and recommending corrective measures. The messages were circulated widely. Radio Stations WBSM, New Bedford, WESX, Salem, and WHDH, Boston, broadcast the bul- letins along with daily fishing information programs. Copies also were mailed to fish- ing vessel owners and operators and to all newspapers in the major fishing ports. The papers carried the bulletins in their water- front news columns. Between January 1961 and October 1967, 23 safety messages were issued to the fish- ing industry. They covered such subjects as: installation of ladders on scallop booms; an- nual inspection of dories and lif esaving equip- ment; annual inspection of fire-fighting equip- ment; measures to reduce number of ship- board falls; low reaction of wooden vessels to radar detection; annual inspection of over- head rigging; measures to prevent collisions at sea; annual inspection of inflatable life rafts; handling explosives snagged in fishing gear; obtaining medical aid; and other sub- Fig, 5 - Inflatable life raft for 15 men stowed on deck of Boston- Fig. 4 - Hand steering wire on trawling winch, the cause of many based large otter trawler.
