Safety boots (steel toed type) must be worn at all times when at any work area. They minimise the 
risk of injury from slipping, damage to the foot from heavy objects, corrosive substances and in some 
cases insulate against electric shock. 
Care must be taken in the choice of safety footwear to ensure that the type of boot is suitable for the 
tasks that the wearer will undertake. Types of Safety Footwear are listed below: 
 STANDARD SAFETY BOOT - These normally come with steel toe-caps, non-slip soles, steel 
midsoles and insulation against heat and cold. 
 ANTI-STATIC FOOTWEAR - Prevents static build up on the wearer and gives some protection 
against electric shock. It also reduces the danger of igniting a flammable atmosphere. 
 CONDUCTIVE FOOTWEAR - Prevents the build up of static and is particularly suitable for 
protection against electric shock. 
 WELLINGTON BOOTS - Suitable for protection against water, they are made of rubber, 
polyurethane and PVC. Wellington boots with steel toe-caps, midsoles and ankle bone protectors 
are also available.
Safety boots should be cleaned regularly and should not be worn inside offices or accommodation 
units unless shoe covers are used.
6.7 Protective 
Clothing 
Wearing protective Coveralls is compulsory for personnel when in any work area (excluding offices). 
Coveralls will comply with approved standards suitable for the assigned tasks. Additional protective 
clothing such as aprons or hoods may also be required for certain assigned tasks, e.g. for flame-
cutting, welding, etc. 
6.8 Safety and Survival Equipment 
Transit / Survival / Immersion Suits 
Transit suits will be provided to personnel when transfer to and from a vessel by helicopter is required 
(i.e. Caspian Sea sector during cold season, cold areas). 
For personnel transfer by Personnel Basket or FROG Personnel Transfer Capsule when transfer 
conditions are designated as cold weather, the Fast Rescue Craft (FRC) crew and Work Boat crew 
and passengers are provided with and must wear the immersion suits.
Life Jackets and Work Vests 
Life jackets are provided for all personnel on the vessel and are kept in lockers in the cabin 
accommodation and in boxes adjacent to the Lifeboats / Life Rafts. In addition, life jackets or work 
vests of an approved type will be worn by all construction personnel when working over water or 
during transfer by Personnel Basket or FRC. They will be kept in a clean and undamaged condition. 
Fall arresting equipment 
Where it is not practicable to carry out work from a safe location, and there is a risk of falling, full body 
safety harnesses will be used together with a suitable safety line (and fall arrest system where 
applicable) attached to a secure anchoring point, prior to commencing the work. It may also be 
necessary, depending on the task to be carried out, to wear full body safety harnesses when working 
in Confined Spaces.
