Objective

This Product is to complement initial and further offshore safety and emergency response training and assessment (i.e. T-BOSIET, T-HUET or TFOET) 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 additional CA-EBS training delivered in addition to the T-BOSIET, T-HUET, T-FOET or OPITO BOSIET/FOET/HUET with EBS programs 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

Personnel travelling to an offshore oil and gas installation by helicopter who require additional training in a Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) will complete this training. Validity: The Shallow Water CAEBS ID certificate is valid for up to four years but will only remain valid in conjunction with a valid OPITO T-BOSIET, TFOET, T-HUET, BOSIET, FOET or HUET with EBS (or Industry agreed equivalent) certificate. Revalidation of Shallow Water CAEBS ID training must be achieved through subsequent OPITO T-BOSIET with CA-EBS, T-FOET with CA-EBS, T-HUET with CA-EBS or BOSIET/FOET/HUET with CA-EBS certification.

Examination

To achieve the Shallow Water Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System Initial Deployment Training the learner will need to complete the mandatory unit.

Course Contents

The topics that will be covered during this course are: - The principles of compressed air emergency breathing systems (CA-EBS). - The principles of other typical emergency breathing systems (EBS) used in the oil and gas industry (i.e. re-breather systems). - The components and elements of the CA-EBS. - The operation of the compressed air EBS equipment in conjunction with other survival equipment. - The hazards associated with compressed air EBS. - The pre-donning checks on the life jacket and compressed air EBS - How to don the life jacket complete with compressed air EBS - Deployment of CA-EBS
