Global awareness of lifejacket safety

摘要

Leading marine safety organisations from around the world have formed a collaborative effort to promote the wearing of lifejackets in boating in the coming years. Canadian Safe Boating Council Chair Jean Murray said the centrepiece of the initiative is a set of principles to promote the wearing of lifejackets. The International Lifejacket Wear Principles were finalised at the Marine13 boating conference, recently held in Darling Harbour Sydney."At this conference, leading maritime safety organisations from Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom were the first to become advocates for this new set of principles.
