Objective

This Product introduces learners that intend to travel to and from offshore oil and gas installations and vessels by helicopter in a tropical environment by providing specific training in pre-flight and in-flight requirements and to equip learners with the basic emergency response knowledge and skills required in the event of a helicopter emergency – with a specific focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching and sea survival techniques. It also is to complement the assessment for personnel travelling to an offshore oil and gas installation by helicopter when issued with a Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS).

The objectives of the T-HUET Training are that learners will be able to:
a) 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.
b) Demonstrate sea survival techniques.

The objectives of the additional CA-EBS training delivered in addition to the T-HUET program are to:
(a) Ensure learners are familiar with the use of the Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS)
(b) Ensure that learners understand their basic emergency response actions during a helicopter emergency using the CA-EBS

Target Group

This Product is to meet the offshore safety and emergency response training requirements for personnel new (or returning) to the offshore oil and gas industry in a tropical environment and who require additional Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA EBS) training.
