An immersion suit must be equipped with which item(s)?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS immersion suit equipment requirements for ships on international voyages • Purpose of an immersion suit: thermal protection and visibility, not underwater breathing • Standard lifesaving appliance (LSA) gear commonly attached to PFDs and suits for detection and rescue

💭 Think About

• Which option lists items that help rescuers see or hear you more easily in the water? • Think about what equipment is normally required on lifejackets and suits: what shows up in almost every picture or regulation description? • Which choices describe items that would be impractical or unsafe to permanently attach to a suit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what SOLAS and LSA Code say about whistles, lights, and retroreflective material on personal lifesaving appliances • Check whether immersion suits are intended for breathing underwater or just surviving and being found on the surface • Consider which items are usually separate pyrotechnics or markers carried in a liferaft rather than fixed to each person’s suit
