Marine trade and outdoor maritime workers face severe lightning risks, requiring immediate suspension of tasks, seeking substantial indoor shelter, and waiting 30 minutes after the final rumble of thunder. ⚡

▶️ Stop work immediately when thunder is heard or lightning is spotted, following the standard 30/30 rule.
▶️ Seek safe shelter inside a fully enclosed permanent building with plumbing and wiring, or a hard-topped metal vehicle with windows rolled up.
▶️ Avoid open structures like unclosed sheds, pavilions, or canvas boat tops that do not protect against side flashes.
▶️ On-Water and Marina Precautions: Get off open water and dock vessels well before a storm arrives; never try to outrun a severe cell.
▶️ Stay low inside a cabin if caught on a boat, avoiding contact with all large metal spars, rigging, and ungrounded electrical equipment.
▶️ Disconnect electronics and power sources to prevent catastrophic power surges.
