Examples

“The captain did a safety drill. This covered where the emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) was located, how to make⟳ a mayday call⟳, and where the fire extinguishers were. A crew member demonstrated how to put⟳ on an immersion suit⟳. These survival suits are waterproof full-body garments with a hood and integral three-finger gloves and boots. They are bulky and hard to get⟳ on but far more likely to save⟳ your life in cold water than a lifejacket. […] But they are also the reasons for the safety campaigns, for the constant and valiant attempts to persuade⟳ fishers to wear⟳ lifejackets at work⟳, to figure⟳ out how to get⟳ someone overboard back on the vessel, to carry⟳ ladders or gaffers that someone can grab⟳ on to.”
