During rescue boat operations, what safety equipment must all seated passengers wear?

In rescue boat operations, every seated passenger must wear immersion suits and/or life jackets. These garments provide buoyancy to keep you afloat and, in the case of immersion suits, thermal protection against cold water and wind. Life jackets ensure you stay upright in the water and remain visible to rescuers, even if you’re unable to swim or become unconscious. helmets and life rings aren’t worn by all seated passengers (life rings are throwable devices, not wearable), and a flotation belt alone doesn’t offer enough buoyancy or warmth. Skipping safety equipment isn’t allowed in these operations, so the combination of immersion suits and/or life jackets is the standard protective measure.
