SAFETY EQUIPMENT
PFD Type II , Wearable turns its wearer
in the same way as Type I, but not as
effectively. The Type Il does not turn as
many persons under the same condi-
tions as a Type I. You may prefer to use
this PFD where there is a probability of
quick rescue such as in areas where
other people are commonly involved in
water activities.

TYPE II — WEARABLE
PFD Type III , Wearable allows wear-
ers to place themselves in a vertical
or slightly backward position. It does
not turn the wearer. It maintains the
wearer in a vertical or slightly back-
ward position and has no tendency
to turn the wearer face down. It has
the same buoyancy as a Type Il PFD
and may be appropriate in areas where
other people are commonly involved in
water activities.
F00A2EY
TYPE III — WEARABLE
PFD Type IV , Throwable is required
in addition to the PFDs previously dis-
cussed. The most common Type IV
PFD is a buoyant cushion or ring buoy.
It is designed to be thrown to a per-
son in the water, grasped and held by
the user until he or she is rescued. A
Type IV PFD should always be in ser-
viceable condition and immediately
available for use. Grasping this PFD
may be difficult if the rescue is delayed
or if the user is overcome by hypother-
mia (loss of body heat).
F00A2FY
TYPE IV — THROWABLE
PFD Type V , Wearable must be worn.
When inflated, it provides buoyancy
equivalent to Type I, Il or III PFDs.
When it is deflated, however, it may
not support some people.
F00A2GY
TYPE V — WEARABLE
PFD Pointers
The purpose of a PFD is to help save
your life. If you want it to support you
when you are in the water, it needs to
fit, float, and be in good condition.
– Try the PFD on and adjust it until it
fits comfortably in and out of the
water. Mark your PFD if you are the
only wearer.
