Cette recherche découle de la recommandation de sécurité 2008-036 de l’AAIB: «Il est recommandé que l’Agence européenne de la sécurité aérienne (AESA) étudie des méthodes permettant d’accroître la visibilité des combinaisons d’immersion portées par l’équipage de conduite, afin d’améliorer l’emplacement des survivants un hélicoptère amerrissant ». L’étude a examiné la possibilité d’exploiter des matériaux rétroréfléchissants pour accroître la visibilité de l’équipage dans un scénario de sauvetage. Il comprend un examen des capacités de l’équipement de l’avion utilisé pour la recherche […]

Un scientifique de la Nouvelle-Écosse, Paul Brodie, a contribué à développer une combinaison de survie légère destinée aux pêcheurs et à toute autre personne qui gagne sa vie sur l’eau. Sa légèreté fait en sorte qu’elle peut être portée à tout moment sur un bateau, précise-t-il. « C’est une combinaison de travail, pas une combinaison de survie [traditionnelle], ces gros habits que l’on enfile avant de sauter d’une plateforme pétrolière [en situation d’urgence] », dit-il. C’est un habit que vous pouvez porter […]
The KNRM can offer the suits and ancillary items through the producer, who will be responsible for the delivery and quality of the products. The new immersion suit, with an integrated life vest, has been developed over a period of several years by the KNRM in close co-operation with the producer. The KNRM will start replacing its present suits as from the end of 2012. The suit design is based on the latest technological developments and textile technology to provide […]
For more than a decade, Sequim business partners Bob Duncan and Bob Groff knew their heat-generating, cold-water immersion suit could and would save seamen’s lives — if only someone dared to dream as they had. In 2011, the engineers at Coleman/Stearns did, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard in 2013, and next month, as the owners of Latitude 98, Duncan and Groff will head to London, England, as one of four finalists in the Sea Trade Awards under the […]
Helicopter Transportation Suits When traveling offshore by helicopter, workers wear helicopter passenger transportation suits designed to protect them in an emergency evacuation at sea. As part of continuous improvement efforts, offshore operators in Atlantic Canada are working collectively to complete a new suit, aiming for an expected introduction in 2015. Although helicopter transportation suits currently in use offshore are still approved for use and meet previous standard requirements, the new suit’s development follows an extensive review of the Canadian General […]

This comfortable ETSO/EASA approved survival suit is one of our new developments for your safety! We have used the feedback of our passengers to optimize the PTS004 helicopter transport suit. A production- or drilling platform is a fire danger area, especially when helicopters have to be refueled. The PTS004 is fire retardant, because of the Gore-Tex Nomex 3 layer and the use of Neoprene hood, gloves, wrist- and neck seals. This helicopter transport suit is 100% watertight and because of the breathability […]
