Objective

This Product is to complement initial and further offshore safety and emergency response training and assessment (i.e. T-BOSIET, T-HUET or T-FOET) 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

This Shallow Water CA-EBS Initial Deployment is for 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 certificate expiry must align with that of the initial T-BOSIET/T-FOET/T-HUET, BOSIET/FOET/HUET with EBS (or Industry agreed equivalent) certificate.

Examination

To achieve the Shallow Water Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System Initial Deployment Training the learner will need to complete the 1 mandatory unit.
