To evaluate lifejacket donning instructions effectively, you should structure your paper to focus on donning time

Store your lifejacket in an accessible “grab bag” or hang it on a “lifejacket station.” Time how quickly you can retrieve it and fully don it. Any delay over 45 seconds indicates a need for better storage or more practice.

Place the lifejacket over your head, with the straps hanging loose.

Most people’s first mistake is holding the lifejacket upside down. The large foam collar or backing pad should face away from you. The oral inflation tube should be located on your right or left shoulder, depending on the model.
