This Shallow Water CA-EBS Initial Deployment is for 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.
Validity: The certificate expiry must align with that of the initial T-BOSIET/T-FOET/T-HUET, BOSIET/FOET/HUET with EBS (or Industry agreed equivalent) certificate.
Prerequisites
Training entry and medical entry requirements must be met. 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.
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. Trainees will undergo a medical screening by completing an appropriate medical declaration form at center.
Objective
This Product is to complement initial and further offshore safety and emergency response training and assessment (i.e. T-BOSIET, T-HUET 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 delivered in addition to the T-BOSIET, T-HUET, T-FOET or OPITO BOSIET/FOET/HUET with EBS programs are to:
(a) Ensure learners are familiar with the use of the Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS)
(b) Ensure that learners understand their basic emergency response actions during a helicopter emergency using the CA-EBS
Course content
The topics that will be covered during this course are;
- The principles of compressed air emergency breathing systems
(CA-EBS)
- The principles of other typical emergency breathing systems (EBS)
used in the oil and gas industry (i.e. re-breather systems)
- The components and elements of the CA-EBS
- The operation of the compressed air EBS equipment in conjunction
with other survival equipment
- The hazards associated with compressed air EBS
