Outlines

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 will be supplied with a rebreather Compressed Air emergency breathing system (CA-EBS) during offshore helicopter travel and who choose to complete the underpinning knowledge of the BOSIET program via the BOSIET (with CA-EBS) on-line program prior to attending an OPITO- approved training center to be formally assessed against all outcomes.

Objectives

• 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. The objectives of the BOSIET (with CA-EBS) 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.
