Personnel working across commercial shipping, quaysides, cargo terminals, marine engineering, and fishing decks routinely wear heavy PPE: high-visibility parkas (EN ISO 20471), flame-retardant suits, heavy PVC oilskins, steel-toe boots, or tool belts. Upon accidental water immersion, trapped air within heavy garments counteracts natural buoyancy. A standard 150 Newton lifejacket often lacks the righting torque required to rotate an incapacitated person into a safe face-up attitude.
A 275 Newton lifejacket (certified compliant with EN ISO 12402-2) is purpose-engineered to overcome garment air-entrapment and provide immediate, commanding righting torque. Delivering actual positive buoyancy between 275 and 320 Newtons, it elevates the casualty's head significantly above chop and spray, preserving clear airways in severe conditions.
