Decoding Next Gen Life Jacket Labels
Life jackets with new harmonized labels are available for purchase in stores now. These new labels look very different from the ones previous generations of boaters recognize and understand. Utilizing icons and fewer words, the public and law enforcement agencies are sure to have questions about purchasing and using the correct life jackets. Will you be prepared to help them?
During this presentation, Mark Chanski will brief the audience on how to decode the new life jacket icons, explain a Newton and touch upon other vital points of the new harmonized life jacket labels.
