Life Saving Equipment

For information on life saving equipment look under this Yellow Pages® heading. Life-saving equipment includes equipment that may be used during marine accidents, accidents due to fire, etc. Examples of such equipment include lifejackets, or inflatable boats that may be used after a marine vessel begins to take in water and is in danger of being submerged. Fire extinguishers can be used when an electrical fire occurs inside a building or a large outdoor fire is in danger of starting a wildfire. Life support equipment such as oxygen pumps and defibrillators can be used to revive individuals whose heart has stopped working due to water or smoke inhalation. Yellow Pages® makes your search for life saving equipment easier.

There are many types of life-saving equipment depending upon the needs of a particular agency. For the marine industry, life-saving equipment range from life rafts, life jackets, life belts, throw-bags, inflatable boats, and lifebuoys, which can be used in lifesaving situations on water. This equipment allows rescuers to reach and support individuals trapped in the water.

Companies supplying life saving equipment also specialise in fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, fire hydrants, fire detection and alarm systems, marine carbon-dioxide systems, emergency lighting systems and many more. These types of equipment are very useful in case of a major fire, etc.

Life-saving equipment is also supplied to the naval and armed forces. For naval forces, marine evacuation systems are considered very important. The marine evacuation system safely and rapidly evacuates to the life raft directly from on board ship. Special navy life rafts include features that aid recovery at sea and protection from hostile fire defence vessels. Companies also deal in fire retardant Kevlar chutes. The outer layer of the Kevlar chute protects naval officials from environmental hazards.
