🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between a USCG-approved work vest and a required life preserver (lifejacket/PFD) • Where and when work vests are allowed to be worn on board in addition to required lifesaving gear • Regulatory idea that work vests cannot reduce, replace, or weaken required lifesaving equipment

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is a work vest designed and approved to fully replace a required life preserver in an emergency, or to provide buoyancy while working on deck? • Consider in which activities (drills, emergencies, routine work) regulations might be most strict about having the full, required life preservers available and ready for use. • Think about whether the regulation is more concerned with keeping required equipment available and undamaged or with allowing flexibility in what counts as required equipment.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether a work vest must be USCG-approved and in good condition to even be used on deck. • Check if regulations allow a work vest to take the place of a required life preserver on the vessel’s equipment list, or only to be worn while still keeping the full set of required life preservers available. • Confirm whether any option would reduce the number or condition of required life preservers available for emergencies. If it would, be very skeptical of that choice.
