The OPITO-approved Helicopter Underwater Escape Training incl. CA-EBS (HUET) is intended for personnel traveling to oil and gas installations by helicopter. If you want to pay a short visit (one day) to an offshore installation, this is often the minimum requirement. In this one-day training the students are prepared for traveling with a helicopter (preflight and in-flight and basic training on emergency procedures) and escaping from a helicopter that has fallen into the water.
The CA-EBS training takes place in water in accordance with mutual recognition between Oil & Gas UK (OPITO) and NOGEPA.
Important Information about CAT B EBS for Norway
We would like to inform you about a recent change related to working in Norway and Norwegian waters. As has now become known, the Emergency Breathing System (EBS) is once again mandatory in Norway.
Before booking an Offshore Safety training, it is important to know whether you will be working on a platform in Norway.
• Will you be working in Norway?
Then the CAT B EBS training is mandatory.
We advise you to book the HUET with CA EBS + EBS
• Will you not be working in Norway?
Then the HUET with CA EBS is sufficient.
