OFFSHORE TRAINING MANIKINS

A valuable rescue training aide for offshore installations.

IDEAL FOR THE FOLLOWING TRAINING SCENARIOS:

Emergency response training on oil rigs and gas platforms or for accidents occurring during transit of passengers by sea or air. More generally our offshore manikin is used for rescue training within the shipping industry. This is a hybrid manikin which also allows for limited use in open water.

SPECIAL MATERIALS:

Carcass constructed from nylon mesh. High density polypropylene webbing (25mm rated to 207 Kg, 50mm rated to 440Kg) SOLAS reflective tape compliant with US Department of Transportation specification USCG 46 CFR, section 164.018, and International Maritime Organisation (IMO) resolution A.658(16). Nonabsorbent closed cell foam – water absorption: 1 Day <0.1 (DIN 53428 1986) 28 Days < 0.5% VOL. Overall constructed from the same material used in Police ballistic/stab vests (conforms to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, BS EN ISO 12947-2 & 14116: 2008).

It is vital that effective drills in emergency response on an offshore installation and during helicopter transit are conducted frequently with regular crew members - these manikins are a vital tool in achieving that.

The increased weight versus the Man Overboard Manikin makes this model suitable for simulating rescues from accommodation areas, engine rooms or drilling platforms - used in conjunction with the tough protective overalls, this model will withstand the rigours of general training including emergency BA training, helicopter safety and escape and escape chute training.

Used extensively for training in the wind farm industry, these manikins are suitable for all working at height exercises.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• The tough nylon mesh carcass allows the water to penetrate quickly, allowing the legs to drop beneath the surface, leaving only the head visible.
• The Offshore manikin will easily withstand a fall of 5 - 6 metres into water with no damage, these manikins are tough!
• This model will float vertically to simulate a live person in the water to practice casualty recovery and to demonstrate the problems associated with sea survival (additional buoyancy aids should be used in rough waters).
• A  loop to the back allows the manikin to be lowered into position or hung up to dry.
• 60Kg in weight gives a realistic weight in water or around the offshore installation. Dry weight 60Kg increases to approximately 95Kg retrieval weight from water.
• Polypropylene strips allow flexibility in and out of the water but prevent the manikin from bending in half when using stretchers or recovery devices like a Jason's Cradle.
• Protective overalls and boots are user-replaceable and greatly extend the life of the manikin

NOT SUITED FOR:

• Use in temperatures above 100°C or flashover scenarios – See our Fire House manikin.
• *Use in open water without a life jacket – see our Water range manikins for greater buoyancy.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS:

• Tough drag protectors and overalls to greatly extend the life of your manikin.
• Face mask and wig for a more human-like appearance
