Introduction

1. SOLAS life jackets general characteristics

   

   The colour of SOLAS life jackets is always orange, and has been standardised, since orange is visible under all weather conditions. Furthermore, all jackets should have retro-reflective tapes, which are visible from an even longer distance.

2. Use

   The owner is required to equip the vessel with the required number of SOLAS life jackets and ensure their accessability in the event of an emergency.  SOLAS life jackets are only worn when required, and are able to keep the wearer afloat, irrespective of their size, and weather conditions.

3. Instructions of use

   Most SOLAS life jackets are designed in the form of lifebelt. When required the jacket should be fitted headfirst, the straps should fit well without being too tight or too loose. The jacket should always be worn with the retro-reflective tape uppermost.

   

4. Maintenance / Replacement

    It is the shipping company’s responsibility to ensure that all life jackets are well maintained. The replacement of SOLAS life jackets must conform to the specifications as required by the surveyors of the National Marine Administration or the Classification Society.
