The training program is
specialist in nature and designed to meet specific safety and emergency
response competency needs of personnel working within the offshore oil and gas
industry where there is a requirement for the use of helidecks, engaging in
emergency helicopter operations, including compressed air emergency breathing
systems (CA-EBS) during transportation to and from
offshore locations by helicopter.
It covers the specific hazards and risks of the environment and focuses on the correct application of CA-EBS in an emergency. Students undergo an extensive training course in emergency procedures, evacuation, survival techniques, and medical response appropriate for an offshore environment.
Practical training exercises are based on scenarios that might arise in real life, with the view to be prepared for the most efficient response in an emergency. This program also covers the regulatory requirements and industry best practices in pursuit of compliance and safety culture. This program provides the underpinning knowledge and skills for personnel to competently respond to emergencies offshore, enhancing general safety standards and contributing to the well-being of personnel offshore.
