Personal protective equipment built for offshore performance

Working offshore is challenging, with conditions that push both people and equipment to their limits. In high-risk environments, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the critical last line of defense. Crews must have complete trust in their equipment because when all other safeguards fail, PPE is their final protection.

At VIKING, we design and thoroughly test all our PPE products to ensure reliable protection, freedom of movement, and long-wear comfort. Our solutions support a strong health and safety culture, enhance offshore occupational health, and help maintain optimal working conditions. 

Safety, comfort and compliance in every detail

Comfort that supports performance - PPE designed for extended wear, moving with the body and helping to reduce fatigue during long shifts. 

Tested for proven reliability - every product is engineered from high-quality materials and undergoes repeated testing before it ever reaches your crew.

Always compliant - from SOLAS and USCG approvals to ETSO aviation standards, our protective equipment meets international requirements. But compliance is only the baseline. PPE must be fit for purpose – not every approved product is suitable for offshore use. That’s why choosing the right gear matters as much as the approval stamp.

Service that keeps you ready - with more than 280 global service stations and flexible Offshore Safety Agreements, we make it easy to keep protective gear in top condition. You get simple upkeep, fast exchange and full documentation, ensuring your equipment is always ready when you need it.
