Get on board with lifejacket safety

Thursday 12 September 2024
Lifejackets save lives, but only if they’re worn. AMSA launches a life jacket safety initiative to save more lives at sea.
Left: A seafarer secures his lifejacket. Right: A woman kisses a child. The words 'Wear it for them. Get on board with lifejacket safety' appear in the middle of the image.

AMSA is the national authority responsible for maritime search and rescue and regulating the safety of commercial vessels in Australia. It’s also a member of the Australian and New Zealand Safe Boating Education Group which is a collaborative effort between state, territory and Commonwealth agencies to improve boating safety.
