Safety Training Rescue Dummies - General Purpose

General Purpose Dummies/Mannequins/Manikins

The Water Rescue manikins are used extensively by NATO forces, British and US Navies, 100% of UK Fire Services and all the sea rescue agencies. Originally developed in conjunction with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (R.N.L.I), Greater Manchester Fire Service Water Incident Support Section and the British Navy; these manikins perfectly simulate unconscious casualties in water.

These manikins can be supplied in two forms, 'man overboard' or 'search and rescue'. The Man Overboard models have been given NATO stock number - 0472-99-7837372 and the Search and Rescue model has been given the NATO stock number - 4210-99-5942538

Both water rescue manikins are designed for use in open water and rough seas; the manoverboard model is supplied with bright orange overalls and SOLAS reflective tape on the head and is designed to be as conspicuous as possible. These models now have two pockets added to the lower legs of the overalls - to make the manikin float horizontally you simply remove the 6 foam pieces from the front chest of the overall and add three pieces to the pocket on each leg. It will take seconds to swap between a horizontally floating manikin and the standard position.
The General Purpose training dummies are our most popular models for the common rescue scenarios such as working at height, confined space, USAR, RTA etc and general handling exercises. They are weighted to produce an anatomically correct weight distribution and the 'feel' of an unconscious patient.

Crucially, these training dummies totally eliminate the risk of pinch welts and bruising being inflicted on trainees, a common injury when using plastic bodied dummies which usually have hard limb joints - for example when a hard knee joint folds over the forearm of a trainee. Our training dummies have soft outer layers and have no hard joints - in fact you can forcibly wrap a knee joint around a trainees forearm with no risk of injury.
Available in 6 sizes and weights from the baby 5kg up to the heavy 70kg Adult. We are also now able to offer a smaller adult manikin which was developed after feedback from our oriental distributors in Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. The new oriental adult manikin is 1.7 metres (67") in height and is available in 30Kg, 50Kg and 70Kg weights.

These training dummies are tough enough to be buried under concrete, have steel lintels, concrete slabs, trees or motor vehicles laid upon them to present a realistic scenarios for rescuers.

The optional protective overalls keep the training dummy clean, and greatly increases the lifespan; they are produced using cotton/polyester woven fabric and are reinforced with high density polypropylene webbing in identified high stress areas. The ends of the arms are further protected with Nylon reinforced PVC. The machine washable overalls are fitted to all sizes of dummy. The overalls are for use with Ruth Lee manikins only – they are not for personal use and does not represent personal protective equipment. The General Purpose training dummies can be used in temperatures up to 100ºC. Above this temperature or where 'flash-over' may occur we recommend using our Fire House Rescue Training Dummy.

All training dummies of 20Kg and over are supplied complete with Wellington boots. The boots protect the legs if the dummy is dragged along the ground.

The General Purpose training dummy is ideally suited for 'dry' rescue conditions. If it gets wet it needs to be hung in a dry airy place to dry before storage. All training dummies are screen printed with a warning triangle, a handling risk note and space for you to record the asset number the date of purchase on the head.
