Description
When operating helicopters to shipboard heliports and offshore helidecks, the Helicopter Landing Officer needs to be clearly identifiable by the helicopter pilot(s) as the person in charge. CAP 437 (the standards document for helicopter landing areas on offshore oil & gas facilities) states that the preferred method of identification for the HLO, is a brightly coloured ‘HLO’ tabard.
This Hi-Vis HLO Vest complies with the CAP 437 requirement and also conforms to ISO 20471 Class 2 standards. The ‘HLO’ / ‘Helicopter Landing Officer’ wording is printed on the vest.
Using classic band and brace reflective tape formation, this vest has a zipped front for a secure and comfortable fit. It gives maximum visibility for day and low light conditions. It is made from 100% polyester and high visibility reflective tape. The vest should aways be worn with the front zip fastened. The vest is made from polyester and is not flame or fire resistant.
We also supply printed Hi-vis vests for Heliport Deck Assistants and Helideck Assistants (HDA); see PPE-0945.
