This Tropical HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) is to meet the initial offshore safety and emergency response training requirements for personnel new (or returning) to the offshore oil and gas industry in a tropical environment.

No training prerequisites are required, however medical entry requirements must be met. Training activities contained within this Product may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All personnel who participate in such activities must be capable of participating fully. Therefore, as a minimum, to ensure that prior to participating in practical exercises the learner must undergo medical screening by completing an appropriate medical screening form provided by the Center.

This Product introduces learners 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 learners with the basic emergency response knowledge and skills required in the event of a helicopter emergency – with a specific focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching and sea survival techniques. The objectives of the T-HUET Training are that learners will be able to: a) 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. b) Demonstrate sea survival techniques.

The following topics will be covered during the course: 1. Helicopter Safety and Escape – Tropical using a Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS) 2. Sea Survival - THUET which includes Evacuation and TEMSPC
