Emergency Breathing System (delivered in conjunction with T-BOSIET and T-HUET)

AIMS

The aim of the additional Emergency Breathing System (EBS) training is to complement initial offshore safety and emergency response training and assessment (i.e. T-BOSIET and T-HUET) for personnel travelling to an offshore oil and gas installation by helicopter (in a warm water tropical environment) when issued with an Emergency Breathing System (EBS).

OBJECTIVES

  • Ensure delegates are familiar with the use of the Emergency Breathing System (EBS).
  • Ensure that delegates understand the basic emergency response during a helicopter emergency using the EBS.

T-BOSIET/FOET to BOSIET/FOET – Bridging Elements Training

AIMS

The Bridging Elements Training is designed to bridge the differences between the Tropical BOSIET/FOET and the BOSIET/FOET. This includes use of aviation transit suits and emergency breathing systems (EBS) during helicopter evacuation and escape.

OBJECTIVES

  • Ensure delegates are familiar with the use of the Emergency Breathing System (EBS).
  • Ensure that delegates understand the basic emergency response during a helicopter emergency using the EBS.

Escape Chute Training – Initial Training & Refresher Training

AIMS

The Escape Chute Initial Training programme gives delegates an understanding of how escape chutes are used as a means of tertiary escape from offshore installations and vessels and provide basic training in the use of a typical escape chute used offshore.

OBJECTIVES

  • To make delegates aware of the various types of escape chutes used on offshore installations and vessels.
  • To provide theoretical and practical training in the safe techniques for escaping through an escape chute.
  • To ensure delegates understand what they are required to do when exiting the escape chute

HUET – Helicopter Underwater Escape Training

AIMS

This programme is designed for oil and gas personnel travelling to oil and gas installations/facilities via helicopter. It will prepare delegates travelling via helicopter with the specific training in pre-flight and in-flight requirements, basic emergency response knowledge and skills required in the event of an emergency – with specific focus on escaping the helicopter following ditching.

OBJECTIVES

  • Demonstrate, in a simulated environment, that they can use the safety equipment, and follow procedures in preparing for, and during helicopter emergencies – with particular focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching.

FOET – Further Offshore Emergency Training

AIMS

The FOET programme is designed to meet the further offshore safety and emergency response training requirements for personnel working in the offshore oil and gas industry. Delegates have the opportunity to practice and demonstrate emergency response skills which are not possible to practice during drills, exercises and emergency offshore training.

OBJECTIVES

  • Demonstrate, in a simulated environment, that they can use the safety equipment and follow procedures in preparing for and during helicopter emergencies – with particular focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching.
  • Demonstrate that they can use basic firefighting equipment effectively, and use self-rescue techniques in low visibility and completely obscured visibility situations e.g. smoke filled areas.
  • Demonstrate that they can perform basic first aid.

BOSIET – Tropical Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training

AIMS

The T-BOSIET will introduce delegates to the specific safety issues and regimes relevant to offshore installations, and to equip them with the basic emergency response knowledge and skills for travelling to and from offshore installations by helicopter in a tropical environment.

OBJECTIVES

  • Identify the generic hazards which are specific to offshore oil and gas installations, potential risks associated with those hazards, and how controls are put in place to eliminate or reduce risks.
  • Identify key offshore related safety regulations and explain the basic safety management concepts.
  • Demonstrate, in a simulated environment, that they can use the safety equipment, and follow procedures in preparing for, and during helicopter emergencies – with particular focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching.
  • Demonstrate sea survival and first aid techniques
  • Demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment, and practise self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, to include smoke filled areas.

HUET – Tropical Helicopter Underwater Escape Training

AIMS

The Tropical HUET training programme will prepare delegates that intend to travel to and from offshore oil and gas installations and vessels by helicopter in a tropical environment by providing specific training in pre-flight and in-flight requirements and to equip delegates with the basic emergency response knowledge and skills required in the event of a helicopter emergency – with specific focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching and sea survival techniques.

OBJECTIVES

  • Demonstrate, in a simulated environment, that they can use the safety equipment, and follow procedures in preparing for, and during helicopter emergencies – with particular focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching
  • Demonstrate sea survival techniques

  • Identify key offshore related safety regulations and explain the basic safety management concepts.
  • Demonstrate that they can use the safety equipment, and follow procedures in preparing for, and during helicopter emergencies with particular focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching.
  • Demonstrate sea survival and first aid techniques.
  • Demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment, and practise self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, to include smoke filled areas.
