TBOSIET 5501 - Tropical Basic Offshore Safety Induction Emergency Training

This Product is to meet the initial offshore safety and emergency response training requirements for personnel new (or returning) to the offshore oil and gas industry

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. Trainees will undergo a medical screening by completing an appropriate medical declaration form at center.

This Product introduces learners 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. The objectives of the T-BOSIET are that learners will be able to: (a) 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. (b) Identify key offshore related safety regulations and explain the basic safety management concepts (c) 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 (d) Demonstrate sea survival and first aid techniques (e) Demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment, and practice self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, including smoke-filled areas

The topics covered during this training are: 1. Safety Induction 2. Helicopter Safety and Escape - Tropical using a Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS) 3. Sea Survival including Evacuation, TEMSPC, and Emergency First Aid 4. Firefighting and Self Rescue Techniques
