FLIPP for Lifejackets
Fishermen Led Injury Prevention Program
Trainings and Classes
From Fall 2024 – Summer 2025, we are partnering with the Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) to provide free lifejackets for fishermen who attend important training.
See these training opportunities in OR and WA for Drill Conducting (DC) and Fishermen First Aid and Safety Training (FFAST).
Lifejackets
We are working with manufacturers and fishermen to identify the design of lifejackets that will be more comfortable and easier to work in.
Lifejackets for Lobstermen
A similar study was done with Lobstermen in New England and Alaskan fishermen, and one of the key takeaways is that lifejacket designs need to vary from fishery to fishery and region to region.
Check out what the Lifejackets for Lobstermen project did in the Northeast!
Your insight and experience with lifejackets are important! If you get a lifejacket from us, we will be reaching out to fishermen to hear directly from you.
