Manikins are a crucial tool for effective man overboard (MOB) training, allowing crews to practise recovery procedures safely and realistically. They help simulate real-life scenarios, including unconscious or incapacitated casualties, without putting anyone at risk. By using manikins, ship operators can improve crew skills, strengthen teamwork and coordination, and ensure recovery procedures are executed efficiently.
Beyond skill development, manikins enhance safety during drills, eliminating hazards such as hypothermia or injury that could occur with live participants. Their durable design makes them ideal for repeated use, supporting regular and realistic training sessions.
For maritime operators, manikins represent a smart investment: they ensure crews are confident, competent, and fully prepared to respond effectively to emergencies, aligning with SOLAS guidance and best-practice safety standards.
Suitable for vessels in the UK and worldwide, our range of Ruth Lee water rescue manikins provide a practical, reliable solution for enhancing MOB readiness across the shipping industry.
