Personnel being issued with Compressed Air Breathing System (CA-EBS) whilst travelling to work by helicopter and may be required to use a CA-EBS in the event of an emergency.
Prerequisites
At the start of the training the delegate should be:
- In possession of a valid ID (passport or drivers licence)
- In possession of a valid OPITO BOSIET/FOET/HUET/T-BOSIET/T-FOET/THUET certificate.
(a) Possess a valid, current offshore medical certificate or
(b) Possess an employing company approved medical certificate
equivalent to an offshore medical certificate, or
(c) On arrival at the training scenter you will be asked to complete a medical self-declaration form. The delegate should have done a long function test or spirometry test. The medical certificate should be send to our customer service prior the date of training. In case you do not have a spirometry test, this could be done on our training center before the training.
Objective
The OPITO approved Compressed Air Emergency Breathing Systemen (CAEBS) Training is designed for offshore workers travelling to work by
helicopter and may be required to use a CA-EBS in the event of an
emergency. During the training delegates learn about the fundamental
differences between a re-breather and compressed air systems, the
rational and use of the CA-EBS in helicopter emergency situations and the hazards associated with CA-EBS.
Objective:
To ensure that delegates gain the required knowledge and understanding of the particular hazards and properties of a CA-EBS and appropriate practical emergency response actions to take should the requirement for emergency deployment arise.
Course content
Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) Initial Deployment Training
Outcome 1: The rationale and use of compressed air emergency breathing systems in helicopter emergency situations, including the fundamental differences between re-breather and compressed air systems (technology and use)
Outcome 2: The hazards associated with compressed air emergency
breathing systems
Outcome 3: Use of the Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CAEBS)
Exam
Delegates will be assessed against the learning outcomes using direct
observation and written questions as appropriate.
Delegates will be required to undertake a multiple-choice written test at
the end of the programme (duration 5 minutes) as a method of checking
that they have met all the knowledge learning outcomes.
On successful completion of the course the delegates will receive the
OPITO certificate.
Note:Training and/or assessment activities contained within this course
may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All
