Personal flotation devices (PFDs) should be stored in easily accessible locations on a vessel, such as on deck in a designated storage area or near the helm. They should be stowed in a way that allows for quick retrieval in an emergency, and not obstructing passageways or exits. It’s also important to ensure that PFDs are properly secured to prevent them from being thrown overboard. Regular checks should be conducted to ensure they are in good condition and readily available for all passengers.
