HUET training is one of the fundamental courses working in the offshore industry. Thousands of workers and personnel travel to and from offshore sites every year. They each have to undergo HUET training. Here, you will find some of the most common questions and answers relating to HUET.
HUET stands for Helicopter Underwater Escape Training. The HUET abbreviation is the offshore industry standard for the type of training needed for personnel going to and from offshore facilities.
Offshore sites such as oil rigs will often only be accessible by helicopters. The commute includes taking off from and landing at facilities where a certain level of safety knowledge is required. All people who will travel to an offshore facility must have a BOSIET or FOET certificate. People going just once to an offshore site may only require HUET training.
HUET training is a combination of theory and practical exercises. When it is time to go in the pool, you will need swimwear to wear underneath your survival suit. All necessary personal protective equipment for the training is provided onsite.
The most basic HUET course will typically last for one day. However, there are many different HUET course variations. Therefore, it is hard to say precisely how long the course duration is.
The HUET certificate will last four years. The four-year HUET training validity is a way to ensure that personnel continuously update their skills. As long as the HUET training is valid, you can travel by helicopter to and from offshore sites.
You can validate your certificate by using the validation function.
The price will vary between different suppliers and regions of the world.
Before attending a HUET course, you need a medical examination and documentation. Besides the medical check, students could benefit from breathing exercises and a basic understanding of manoeuvring in water. To exit a helicopter submerged in water requires some flexibility, but swimming skills are not necessary nor mandatory.
Helicopter Underwater Escape Training with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS). Or in short, HUET with CA-EBS. It is a course for people who will travel by helicopter and is issued an emergency breathing system. Part of the course will teach the student to operate the breathing system when exiting the vessel safely.
The Tropical Helicopter Underwater Escape Training is aimed at workers that travel to and from offshore oil and gas installations and vessels by helicopter, mainly in a tropical environment. Personnel will relate training contents specifically to tropical settings, which ensures that the particular challenges working in tropical regions are incorporated in the training and risk scenarios.
During a HUET course swimming abilities are not required. In other words, you can take the course without being able to swim. The HUET course is both for people who can and cannot swim. Escaping from the vessel is a matter of knowing and applying best practice exit strategies, not swimming experiences.
OPITO is a global, not-for-profit organization for the offshore industry. OPITO plays a vital role in defining the standards for safety in the offshore sector. Thus, any HUET training must meet the standards described by OPITO.
HUET is a highly practical course. Studying the theory online might be an excellent way to keep the strategies top of mind of preparing for the course. However, there is no way to avoid getting wet. Being submerged into the pool and performing the different tasks is the only way to earn the certificate.
The primary purpose of any HUET course is to maximise the chance of survival. That goal is achieved by knowing and applying the correct safety assessments and strategies. For the best chance of survival in an extreme situation such as exiting a helicopter in water, you need the skill set that you learn during a HUET course.
The correct name for the course is Helicopter Underwater Escape Training. The acronym is HUET. HUET training is focused on emergencies when travelling by helicopter and how to assess and act in high-risk situations.
