Viking Live Saving Equipment (Viking) has developed new suits to increase safety of personnel and to reduce the time and costs of maintenance on offshore solutions.
The star turn ‘quarterback’ of Viking’s offshore PPE line-up is a new anti-exposure, work and immersion suit called[ds_preview] PS4191. According to the company the suit is highly breathable, minimizing the risk of heat stress and condensation buildup. Also, with fully integrated inflatable buoyancy and various lining choices, this ISO- and SOLAS-approved suit is a viable replacement for the three individual pieces of PPE (summer suit, winter suit and a lifejacket) typically worn in the industry.
Upgrade and product innovations
Viking has also upgraded its range of cutting-edge PPE for offshore aviation, continuing a flow of product innovations that have long made it the first choice of many offshore helicopter operators. The exhaustive ETSO-approved gear program includes fully featured protective suits and lifejackets for pilots and passengers, along with the latest Category A STASS and PLB technology.
