I think it would be helpful to have one thread with offshore safety tips.

Things get buried within so many posts.

Can you please post your safety tips here.

There's some great tips in this thread that we should bring into this thread:

Feel free to copy and paste some stuff from that thread or others, as well as add your tips here.

It would be nice to have some stand-alone safety threads to help people out -- it just might save a life.

Thanks in advance.
