Basic

Aims:
The aim of the BOSIET (with EBS) is to introduce delegates 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.

Objectives:
The objectives of the BOSIET (with EBS) Training are that delegates will be able to:

• 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.
• Identify key offshore related safety regulations and explain the basic safety management concepts.
• 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 sea survival and first aid techniques.
• Demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment, and practise self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, to include smoke filled areas.

Target Audience:
This training programme is designed 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 emergency breathing system (EBS) during offshore helicopter travel.

Delegate pre-requisites:

• Demonstrate that they can perform basic first aid.

The aim of the FOET (with CA-EBS) 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.

Target Audience:
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 who will be supplied with a compressed air emergency breathing system (CA-EBS) during offshore helicopter travel.

Delegate pre-requisites:
The FOET (with CA-EBS) is open to persons who have a valid (in-date) BOSIET (with CA-EBS), BOSIET(with EBS), TBOSIET, FOET (with CA-EBS), FOET(with EBS) or TFOET certificate.

Validity:
4 years

Aims and Objectives:
The aims and objectives of the training are to ensure that the delegate gains the required knowledge and understanding of the particular hazards and properties of a Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) and appropriate practical emergency response actions to take should the requirement for emergency deployment arise.

During the training programme, delegates will be required to demonstrate their skills and understanding of the following key areas.

To successfully complete this training delegates must be able to explain:

• The fundamental differences between re-breather and compressed air systems (technology and use)
• The rationale and use of compressed air emergency breathing systems in helicopter emergency situations
• The hazards associated with compressed air emergency breathing systems

To successfully complete this training delegates must able to demonstrate:

• A pre-flight inspection of the life jacket and CA-EBS
• Donning the life jacket with CA-EBS correctly, including ‘buddy check’
• An emergency deployment of the CA-EBS in a dry environment
