Course overview
This course is targeted at HERTMs who possess an active OPITO certificate. These individuals require renewal of that cert as they may not have the opportunity to employ updated and refreshed job-related knowledge and skills in their present workplace.
Task-focused thinking and controlled breathing are among the strategies used in the curriculum of this course which places emphasis on the need to maintain poise in emergency events. If you are feeling frozen, it is also essential to seek assistance as soon as possible. Reaction coordination and accountability are contingent upon good communication with the HLO and other members. Regular communication regarding the status of the plan is essential. HLOs claim that directed response in a helideck environment fosters a coordinated response.
