The objective of this training is to improve at-sea safety for all Northeast Fisheries Science Center Observers by providing them with up-to-date, comprehensive and high quality safety training. This includes both the initial safety training (Safety I) and follow up training (Safety II) every 18 months. The Contractor shall conduct approximately 10 observer safety trainings per year (6-Safety I and 4-Safety II).
