PFD Classifications
Listed below are the several different types of PFDs,
each life jacket has different purposes, choose one
that will suit your purpose.
Type I , Off-shore Life Jacket is
considered the most buoyant, it is
designed to turn an unconscious
person face up. Use in all types
of waters where rescue may be
slow, particularly in cold or rough
water conditions.
Type II
, Near-shore Life Vest,
“keyhole” vest with flotation
filled head and neck support is
also designed to turn a person
face up, but the turning action is
not as pronounced. Use in calm
inland waters or where quick
rescue is likely.
!
DANGER
Even in rainy cold weather, ventilation must be
maintained to avoid Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
You will get wet and/or cold.
Even strong swimmers can tire quickly in the water
and drown due to exhaustion, hypothermia, or both.
The buoyancy provided by a personal flotation device
(PFD) will allow the person who has fallen overboard
to remain afloat with far less effort and body heat
loss, extending survival time necessary to find and
retrieve them.
One (1) Coast Guard approved PFD, Type I, II or
III for each person aboard or being towed on water
skis, tubes, etc.
The law requires that PFDs must be readily
accessible, if not worn. “Readily Accessible” means
removed from storage bags and unbuckled.
Lifesaving Equipment
PFD Requirement
Children and non-swimmers MUST wear PFDs
at all times when aboard.
