(e) Safety orientation. The master or individual in charge of a vessel must ensure that a safety orientation is given to each individual on board that has not received the instruction and has not participated in the drills re-quired by paragraph (a) of this section before the vessel may be operated.

(f) The safety orientation must ex-plain the emergency instructions re-quired by § 28.265 and cover the specific evolutions listed in paragraph (a) of this section.

NOTE: The individual conducting the drills and instruction need not be the master, indi-vidual in charge of the vessel, or a member of the crew.
