註釋There is a requirement for the offshore oil and gas industry to provide cold water immersion protection for personnel during helicopter flights to and from offshore installations and on the installations in the event of emergency abandonment. These requirements have historically been met by providing two different immersion suits, one for helicopter transport and one kept on the offshore installation. This report examines the advantages and drawbacks of the dual role immersion suit concept, i.e. a single immersion suit being used for both helicopter transport and during emergency abandonment. It reviews the two Canadian standards for immersion suits to determine whether one system may be able to achieve dual approval, and summarizes interviews with those involved in operations using dual-role immersion suit systems in Norway and the United Kingdom. Recommendations are made regarding the suitability of a dual-role system for Canadian conditions and an appropriate means of implementing such a system.
