Shock Mitigation Solutions

Protective Clothing

In the Shock Mitigation Directory this category is separated into sub-categories including Drysuits, Survival & Immersion Suits, Helmets.

Drysuits

RIB & High Speed Craft working environments require a surface use dry suit not a diving drysuit. Commercial drysuits are of heavy duty construction with a front or back dry zip.

Quick fit, lightweight dry suits are designed for first responders and rescuers where the user does not require total water integrity. Lightweight drysuits are for minimal use.

Survival & Immersion Suits

Survival suits for commercial operations and are not normally worn. The survival suit is stowed in an accessible location onboard the craft in case of vessel abandonment.

A survival suit's flotation and thermal protection is usually better than an immersion protection work suit and typically extends a person's survival by several hours.

Marine Helmets

Helmets for use on RIBs and High Speed Craft are designed to provide head protection and reduce exposure to the elements. Full face or part face visors can be used.

Marine helmets are usually lightweight and manufactured from fibreglass, GRP, FRP or plastic materials. Military helmets are heavier and designed to give ballistic protection.
