Safety videos go on-line

A new series of Australian produced safety videos have been produced for the RFD brand of personal flotation devices (PFDs). The series of five videos is aimed at educating boaters in selecting, wearing and maintaining their RFD PFDs.

All of the five new RFD videos can be viewed or downloaded at the TV section of the RFD web site, http://www.rfd.com.au/rfdtv

The titles included in the series are:

•How to Select, Don and Adjust Your PFD
•How to Use Your Manual and Automatic Inflatable PFD
•How to Maintain & Re-Arm Your Manual Inflatable PFD
•Checking, Inflating and Repacking Your Manual Inflatable PFD
•Checking, Inflating and Repacking Your Automatic Inflatable PFD

RFD says that all of the new videos are aimed at providing information to boaters in a practical, easy to follow high definition video format. The videos are filmed in Melbourne and present an Australian perspective on the topic of PFDs.

With so many consumers turning to the web for purchasing and how-to-operate information, Survitec, (owner of the RFD brand) has taken the initiative to provide a series of information based videos.

"Our new RFD videos are purely educational," said Mark Barker, Managing Director of the Survitec Group.

"Our objective is to educate and support our customers, along with the broader boating community, with useful information. The on-line presence should give RFD customers the basic information and confidence needed to select, wear and maintain their RFD personal floatation device."

Through these videos we hope to deliver useful and practical information on maintaining an important piece of safety equipment. We also strongly advise owners to follow the service information on their PFDs and also ensure they are professionally serviced at an appropriate station in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
