The Survivor Strop can be quickly and easily secured, either by placing the Strop over the head and then slipping the arms through, or by slipping it over the feet and working it up to the chest. NB Intended for rescuing uninjured personnel only. Note: although primarily designed for Man OverBoard rescues, it can also be used in other situations where a casualty needs to be pulled or lifted eg from mud/quicksand or in suitable helicopter-lifting drills/simulations.
This MOB Training Strop has a SWL 150 Kg. Individually tested to 300 Kg by an independent specialist tester, and supplied with a Test Certificate. Constructed of webbing with a breaking strain in excess of two tonnes and stainless steel hardware the Survivor Strop provides a quick and safe means of hoisting uninjured persons. During manufacture the load bearing construction of each strop is tested to 300kgs.

Creating a Culture of Maritime Safety: Minimise Risks Aboard your Vessel with Man Overboard Equipment.
Investing in appropriate man overboard equipment plays a critical role in safeguarding lives at sea. Simultaneously, implementing necessary precautions is essential for preventing incidents. By establishing stringent safety protocols, providing comprehensive training, and conducting regular drills, we can actively mitigate the risks associated with man overboard (MOB) situations. These proactive measures ensure that crew members are well-prepared and equipped to respond swiftly and effectively during emergencies.
This article delves into the significance of enhancing safety at sea through the utilisation of innovative MOB equipment such as Cradles, Ladders, and Slings; exploring various reliable and approved solutions designed specifically to address the risks linked with MOB incidents. By prioritising safety, fostering a culture of preparedness, and investing in suitable MOB equipment, you can help to promote best practices, safety training programs, and awareness initiatives within the maritime community.
The collective effort to acknowledge potential dangers, implement precautions, and invest in effective MOB equipment contributes to the establishment of a secure maritime environment. By adhering to these practices together as a maritime community, we prioritise the well-being of all individuals involved in maritime activities, whether commercial, or leisure — and ensuring their safety remains paramount.
