Safety - Pyrotechnics

The correct way to use pyrotechnical signalling methods

Safety – Pyrotechnics

We recognise it from the movies – an emergency at sea and the subsequent setting off of a rocket flare. It is not at all uncommon for these lifesaving provisions to disappear into the middle of nowhere. For the correct, calm response in the event of a big emergency, in this pyrotechnics course will provide information about the latest methods of signalling distress at sea and how to use them. We also provide you with more information about all the basics of legal requirements.

The carrying of, and correct and prompt use of, emergency pyrotechnical methods at sea is compulsory, since it can save lives. In the course you get an overview of the signalling methods available on a yacht, how to store them correctly in the harbour and during your journey and how to use them expediently in case of emergency. Yacht owners in particular also learn about the legal foundations for acquisition and transporting outside the yacht.

Educational building blocks of the pyrotechnic course:

  • Dangers and safety guidelines
  • Legal foundations
  • Correct handling of pyrotechnical signalling options for emergencies at sea
  • Technical foundations
  • Acquisition, transport and storage
