Crewsaver
Inflatable Lifejackets
Crewsaver
inflatable lifejackets are common place amongst seafarers nowadays,
I recommend them to be worn before stepping onboard any vessel,
I cannot emphasis how important it is to use them
Aboard
fishing vessels, while carry out duties on deck, fishing skippers
will make crew unemployed if caught working on deck without
them, you might think this is pretty hard on the crewmembers,
but it's the skippers responsibility to make sure the crew are
safe.
It
is important that Crewsaver lifejackets are worn on the outside
of every piece of waterproof clothing, the following will show
you why;
An
M.C.A. Captain asked the following question;
A
man came back to his fishing vessel, his vessel was away from
the pier because of the wind, so he decided to jump onto the
stem of his vessel, he slipped and fell into the harbour, at
the time he was wearing crewsaver Lifejackets below a NYLON
Waterproof jacket.
The
Crewsaver Lifejackets inflated and came up by his neck, the
size of the Lifejackets inflated broke the man's neck.
NEVER
WEAR ANY INFLATABLE LIFEJACKETS BELOW ANY ITEM OF CLOTHING.
The
Crewsaver lifejackets should be serviced every 6 months to make
sure you've not cut any holes in them, put them up to Cosalt
for servicing
They
will inflate the Lifejackets and check for any holes and also
insert a new canister and new seals for the canister. |
