Water Rescue

An increased focus on water rescue worldwide means that Ruth Lee is the perfect place to find your new training partner.

SOLAS – The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships. This includes mandatory Enclosed Space Entry and Rescue Drills such as Man Overboard.

Ruth Lee water rescue manikins are used by Navies worldwide, plus fire departments, specialist technical rescue teams, the Coastguard and Civil Defense teams. The Water Rescue range has been developed with assistance from expert rescue organisations including the British Navy, Surf Lifesaving Australian, RLSS UK, the RNLI and many more to ensure you have a training manikin to match the specifics of your own training.
