Where you will meet it
At the lockers and boxes with lifejackets: in the cabins, at the assembly stations and the embarkation stations.
What it means in practice
Lifejackets are kept here. You put one on for the abandon ship alarm and for drills; how to don it is shown on the instruction at the assembly station.
