Objective

The BOSIET (with EBS) will also equip participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to respond appropriately in the event of an offshore emergency and to enhance their survivability through proper use of emergency equipment and procedures.

Target Group

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 and who choose to complete the underpinning knowledge of the BOSIET programme via the BOSIET (with EBS) on-line programme prior to attending an OPITO approved training centre to be formally assessed against all learning outcomes.

Examination

Delegates will be required to undertake a written test (duration: 30 minutes) as a method of checking that they have met all the Module 1 learning outcomes. All learning outcomes must be achieved during the written test. Delegates will be assessed against the practical learning outcomes specified in OPITO Approved Standard BOSIET with EBS at the training facility.
