Immersion Suits IMMERSION SUIT ANTI-EXPOSURE SUIT Immersion suits provide the best protection from cold and exposure in the water. Only Transport <strong>Canada</strong> approved suits should be used. If you have a suit, don’t wait for an emergency. Try it out so that you will know how it works. Take the suit out of its container, and pull it on as you would coveralls. Pull the hood over your head, close the zipper with a slow, even pull, and then close the face cover. Inflate the life-ring (if applicable) after you enter the water. Cross your arms and hold onto your shoulders, and enter the water feet first. You should take the suit out of storage occasionally to air it and to lubricate the zipper. 64 LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT
If you have an inflatable life raft, be sure it is installed properly. 1) Install the raft where it can be easily launched, but where it will float clear if the ship sinks before launching. 2) Do not install the raft vertically. The gas cylinder inside will fall to the bottom and chafe the fabric. Install it in a cradle or shaped bed, secured with a senhouse slip and weak link or a hydrostatic release. 3) The painter must be secured to a strong point on the vessel. 4) The raft should not be exposed to paint, exhaust smoke, sparks, heavy seas or spray. 5) Have the liferaft inspected and repacked and the hydrostatic release tested according to the recommendations and requirements of the manufacturer.
