personal flotation devices (PFDs)

Personal flotation devices (PFDs) are safety devices worn or carried to help keep a person afloat in water, reducing the risk of drowning. They come in various styles, such as life jackets or vests, and are designed to provide buoyancy that supports a person’s head above water, even if they are unconscious or tired. PFDs are essential safety equipment for boating, water sports, and when near open water. They are tested and certified for effectiveness, offering peace of mind and increased safety during water activities. Proper fit and correct usage are crucial for maximum effectiveness.
