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 who choose to complete the underpinning knowledge of the T-BOSIET program via the T-BOSIET online program prior to attending an OPITO approved training center to be formally assessed against all learning outcomes.
Prerequisites
Training entry and medical entry requirements must be met. Learners must complete all online elements contained in the T-BOSIET on line program prior to attending an OPITO-approved training center to be formally assessed against all outcomes within 90 days of completing the online elements.
For medical entry, 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.
After you have completed the online course, please contact our training center to schedule the formal assessment.
Objective
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 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.
