Description

Latest version of the increasingly popular Offshore Rescue Training Manikin. Updated to the GEN2 features, the Offshore is designed as an amalgamation of the HazMat and water rescue manikin. The newly released Offshore manikin is a versatile water and general rescue training product on offshore platforms and vessels. The polyester carcass and increased weight make this model stronger and more suitable for simulating rescues from accommodation areas, engine rooms, or drilling platforms. – used in conjunction with the tough protective overalls, this model will withstand the rigors of general training.

While this manikin will float well in static water, using some buoyancy aid (life Jacket) in open seas or rough water is advisable. Weighing in at a respectable 132 lb (60 Kg) when dry and 209 lbs (95 kg) as it is lifted from the water (average wet weight: 176 lbs.) The offshore manikin uses a polyester carcass with mesh to the ends of the arms, legs, and head to aid drainage. As standard with any Ruth Lee Water Rescue manikin, there is a polypropylene webbing loop on the back for hauling and hanging to dry and SOLAS reflective tape on the head. The protective overalls are made of rugged high-tenacity PU-coated polyester, 320 gms (similar to the type of materials used for bulletproof vests), with high-density polypropylene webbing double stitched in the identified high-stress areas. The Offshore manikin is supplied complete with draining sturdy rubber boots; the boots help protect the legs if the manikin is dragged along metal gangways and corridors.

While it does not provide all the features that a standard water rescue manikin would, the offshore manikin is the perfect balance between functionality and value for those limited in storage space. Made in the United Kingdom

Endorsement:

Mines Rescue Marine has for some time now been training with several different Manikins supplied by Ruth Lee. This Offshore Manikin model meets all our requirements: it is robustly constructed, hard-wearing, realistically sized & weighted, and articulates easily where required. It has proved to be an invaluable kit that we regularly use on training courses and on board ships and installations while undertaking drill sessions. I, therefore, have no hesitation endorsing this particular model.
