Work with lifejacket industry stakeholders and commercial operators to identify and implement appropriate safety measures that mitigate the potential risks associated with:
• inflating a lifejacket while obstructed overhead or in a confined space, limiting a wearer’s ability to escape to a safer area
• the lack of guidance and procedures relating to the doffing and deflation of inflatable lifejackets, to increase a wearer’s ability to remove an inflated lifejacket if needed.
• inflating a lifejacket while obstructed overhead or in a confined space, limiting a wearer’s ability to escape to a safer area
• the lack of guidance and procedures relating to the doffing and deflation of inflatable lifejackets, to increase a wearer’s ability to remove an inflated lifejacket if needed.
