Never do this as OOW! BNWAS - Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System

BNWAS - Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System.

Never do this as OOW.

There was a unforgetable moment but somewhat funny happened previously. The OOW in the open sea was alone in the bridge while his AB look-out was on the bridge wings. The call of nature has forced him to went in the toilet without pressing the BNWAS reset button first. Unfortunately, the BNWAS sounded but the OOW didn't notice it and he has to finish the call of nature because he has not feeling well of his stomach. The alarm sounded to the other OOW was on main deck and sounded to the Master Cabin. Everybody rushed to the bridge to know what happened. Then the OOW came out from the toilet and everybody can't help but laughing. The OOW was instructed to never do it again. Ask help if needed or reset the BNWAS button first before going to the toilet.
