A lifebuoy, is a ring-shaped buoyant device (also called a life ring), designed to aid individuals in distress and at risk of drowning in water. During emergency scenarios, the life-ring should be either thrown or lowered to the casualty, with a lifebuoy rescue throw-line securely attached. This enables the rescuer to grasp one end of the throw line and safely pull the casualty, who is holding onto the life ring, from the water to safety.

Lifebuoys are constructed using two key materials for enhanced durability and functionality. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), treated with UV protection, forms the robust outer shell, making the lifebuoy resistant to corrosion and impact. Polyurethane (PU) foam is filled inside the HDPE shell, providing buoyancy and effectively preventing water ingress. Additionally, grab-lines and class 1 retro-reflective bands are incorporated for improved visibility during rescue operations.

Lifebuoys are vital safety tools for organisations and individuals operating in environments where the risk of drowning is present due to proximity to bodies of water. Ranging from poolside setups at holiday homes to comply with maritime regulations aboard ships or vessels, such as SOLAS / MED requriments for lifebuoys.

Both 30-inch lifebuoys and 24-inch lifebuoys can meet the requirements set forth by SOLAS regulations. If you are unsure whether you need lifebuoy equipment, please get in touch!
