Objective

The objectives of the BOSIET (with CA-EBS) TDigital training are that
delegates 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 practise self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, to include
smoke filled areas.

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
compressed air emergency breathing system (CA-EBS) during offshore
helicopter travel.
