Lifejacket Use for Production Crew (LJUPC)
The Lifejacket Use for Production Crew course is designed for production crew who wear lifejackets when working near water, but do not wish to complete a full Safe Working Near Water for Production Crew course. This is either because they already have a Water Awareness and Safety course or they only wish to know how to don and doff a lifejacket and care for it.
It is not intended that these production crew will enter the water as part of their work, and a manual- or auto-inflation lifejacket is issued as PPE for accidental water entry only, though the course will cover this possibility practically to ensure production crew are prepared for the event if it does happen.
Production crew requiring a more comprehensive working near- or in-water capability can take the Rescue 3 Europe Safe Working Near Water for Production Crew or Safe Working In Water for Production Crew course.
