Shallow Water CA-EBS Initial Deployment Training

Personnel travelling to an offshore oil and gas installation by helicopter who require additional training in a Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) will complete this training.

Learners must possess a valid OPITO T-BOSIET/T-FOET/T-HUET, BOSIET/FOET/HUET with EBS (or Industry agreed equivalent) certificate prior to attending the OPITO Shallow Water Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System Initial Deployment Training.

The aim of the additional Shallow Water Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System Initial Deploy ant (CA-EBS ID) training is to complement initial and further offshore safety and emergency response training and assessment (i.e. BOSIET or T-FOET) for personnel travelling to an offshore oil and gas installation by helicopter when issued with a Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS). The objectives of the additional CA-EBS training are: 1. Ensure Learners are familiar with the use of the Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS); 2. Ensure that Learners understand their basic emergency response actions during a helicopter emergency using the CA-EBS.

1. Use of Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) and hazards associated with it; 2. Differences between the rebreather (standard type of EBS) and CA-EBS; 3. Practical Helicopter Escape; 4. CA-EBS Training (In-Water) – practical exercises with assessment.
