PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE
Always wear your PFD and ensure that it has sufficient buoyancy to turn you on your back keeping your mouth clear of the water even if you become unconscious. A 150N automatic inflatable lifejacket, either as a separate item, or integral with your oilskins should be worn. Regularly check that the PFD has not been damaged and that the gas cylinder is secure. Inflatable lifejackets are available with a safety harness incorporated and this will allow you to quickly clip in a safety line
