EPIRB and PLB Safety Devices
EPIRB Best Practices
1- Mount the EPIRB bracket where it can’t be overlooked and be sure everyone on board knows how and under what conditions to activate it.
2- Keep portables PLBs in a ditch bag or emergency kit. Dedicate a place to stow it, somewhere where it can be easily reached in case of emergency.
3- Test your EPIRBs regularly, especially before a long trip. The self test procedure is simple and written on the side of every unit.
4- Check the battery expiration date located on a sticker attached to the EPIRB. Replace them every 4-5 years.
