Offshore safety sign refurbishment (North Alwyn platforms)

Following an initial full safety sign survey on-board the North Sea oil platforms North Alwyn A and B, Escape Safe has successfully supplied and installed over 8,000 new safety signs covering both platforms, and has also installed 500m of low-level escape system in the accommodation block on North Alwyn A.

All-weather workwear with integrated lifejacket

Escape Safe can provide all-weather workwear with a built in lifejacket from the Ki range of foul weather clothing.

Available in EN 396, 150 N and 275 N Solas approved, these suits can provide thermal protection according to Class D (EN ISO 15027), which makes it possible to survive for one hour in cold water (5°C).

Some versions also have HI VIS EN 471 Certification, EN 1149 electrostatic properties, EN 14116 protection against heat and flame, limited flame spread and EN 13034 chemical protection.

The Ki range is fully automatic inflation with manual back up and is suitable for use in coastal waters and different levels of use offshore, subject to level of buoyancy.

More details of the specific certification and wear trials are available upon request.
