Which of the following statements is TRUE concerning lifejackets?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS / Coast Guard lifejacket design purpose – what they are built to do for an unconscious person in the water • Difference between a buoyant work vest and an approved lifejacket under 46 CFR • Correct orientation of a lifejacket when worn (front/back, inside/out)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What is the primary safety function of a properly approved lifejacket, especially if the wearer is unconscious? • Think about whether work/boat vests and lifejackets are always interchangeable on inspected vessels under U.S. regulations. • Consider if a lifejacket is symmetric. Can you safely wear it backwards or inside‑out and expect it to work as designed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which device is specifically required for SOLAS / USCG-approved lifesaving appliances (not just any buoyant vest). • Check whether the turning face-up performance is a required feature of approved lifejackets. • Confirm if manufacturers and regulations require proper orientation/label side out for the lifejacket to function as designed.
