TFOET with Emergency Breathing System

This programme is designed to meet the further offshore safety and emergency response training requirements for personnel working in the offshore oil and gas industry in a tropical environment. Personnel travelling to an offshore oil and gas installation by helicopter (in a warm water tropical environment) who require additional training in the Emergency Breathing System (EBS).

Possession of a valid (in-date) OPITO-approved BOSIET, BOSIET (with CA-EBS), TBOSIET, FOET, FOET (with CA-EBS) or TFOET certificate.

The aim of the T-FOET is to provide the delegates with the opportunity to practise and demonstrate emergency response skills which are not possible to practise during drills, exercises and emergency training offshore. The objectives of the T-FOET are that delegates will be able to: • 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. • Demonstrate that they can use basic firefighting equipment effectively, and use self-rescue techniques in low visibility and completely obscured visibility situations e.g. smoke filled areas. • Demonstrate that they can perform basic first aid. The objectives of the additional EBS training delivered in conjunction with the T-BOSIET or T-HUET programme are to: • Ensure delegates are familiar with the use of the Emergency Breathing System (EBS) • Ensure that delegates understand their basic emergency response actions during a helicopter emergency using the EBS

This course includes: • Helicopter safety and escape techniques • Basic firefighting and self-rescue techniques • Emergency first aid techniques • Use of Emergency Breathing System (EBS) • Practical helicopter escape techniques using EBS
