 (ii) the management of lifejackets to ensure that they are readily available if needed;
(d) for a Class 1 vessel, or a Class 2 vessel that is permitted to carry passengers — an effective and verifiable means of passenger monitoring to ensure that the master of the vessel is able to find out the number of passengers on board the vessel at any time;
(e) a passenger count at or around the time of embarkation and disembarkation that ensures an accurate record of the number of passengers embarking and disembarking a vessel that:
 (i) is a Class 2 vessel that is permitted to carry passengers or a Class 1 vessel that is permitted to carry no more than 75 passengers; and
 (ii) is engaged on a voyage of at least 30 minutes scheduled duration and no more than 12 hours scheduled duration, and the vessel is not scheduled to stop for embarkation or disembarkation in the first 30 minutes; and
 (iii) is operating in:
(A) B, C or D waters; or
(B) E waters outside of daylight hours;
(f) for a vessel mentioned in paragraph (e) that is used to transport passengers to a water based activity, the passenger count:
 (i) must include an additional count before the vessel departs from the site of the water based activity; and
 (ii) is not required to be conducted when a vessel is stopped for a water based activity and a passenger enters or leaves:
(A) the water; or
(B) another vessel used in conjunction with the activity;
(g) a radio watch, unless:
 (i) the equipment is being used on another frequency for the business or safe navigation of the vessel; or
 (ii) a radio watch is being maintained on another frequency required by a local pilotage or port authority; or
 (iii) communications are being exchanged with another shore based or ship station; or
 (iv) the master considers that, because of sea or weather conditions, maintaining the watch would interfere with the safe navigation or safe working of the vessel; or
 (v) the vessel is not required to carry a radio.
       Note for paragraph (b)   This requirement does not prevent group inductions. The timing and format of the induction will depend upon the nature of the vessel's operations.
       Note for paragraph (d)   Examples of passenger monitoring systems: counting; monitored or recorded closed circuit television; crew stationed as sentries to visually monitor; configuration of the vessel that allows the master of the vessel to see passengers.
       Note for paragraph (e)   A number of methods could be used for a passenger count. Examples: a head count;
