Immersion suits
Cold water and drowning are two major hazards in the fishing industry. Immersion suits help reduce the risk to workers who have to abandon ship because of a fire, flood, or other vessel emergency. Employers must provide immersion suits where required and ensure workers are trained in their proper use.
