When I inspect our Personal Flotation Devices (PFD's) "Lifejacket" I am looking for medium to significant rips or tears in the nylon fabric. I am looking to see if it has reflective tape or SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) retro tape and if it is ripped, falling off or fading (due to excessive exposure to the sun.) I am looking at the zipper to see the condition of the "teeth" and the actual zipper mechanism is functioning. If it has hook and loop tape ("Velcro") I am looking at the condition of that as well. If is it clean and free of dirt, paint or grease? Does it look old. What is the condition of the foam inside, does it feel hard, brittle or broken. Does it have mold? These are a few of the criteria I check in my preventive maintenance.
