TBOSIET Shallow Water CA-EBS 5508

This Tropical BOSIET with Shallow Water CA-EBS 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 and who require additional Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) training.

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. It also is to complement the assessment 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 Tropical BOSIET training 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 objectives of the additional CA-EBS training delivered in addition to the T-BOSIET program 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

The topics covered during this training are: 1. Safety Induction 2. Helicopter Safety and Escape - Tropical using a Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS) 3. Helicopter Emergencies with Use of Compressed Air Breathing System 4. Sea Survival including Evacuation, TEMSPC, and Emergency First Aid 5. Firefighting and Self Rescue Techniques
