Personal protection and other equipment
For work carried out in the water or near a watercourse, personal flotation equipment and rescue stations are often mandatory.
The Mustang MD3157 lifejacket is the one most often used in the construction industry. Flotation coats and flotation suits can also be used in cold weather.
Marine rescue stations may include various types of equipment: lifebuoy, audible alarm, telescoping boat hook, floating line, position light, flare, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, blanket, etc.
