01 — Understand the Offshore Environment
Recognise the hazards associated with offshore oil and gas installations, understand the risks they create and become familiar with the controls used to reduce those risks.

02 — Know the Breathing System Before the Emergency
Develop familiarity with the compressed-air emergency breathing system, its role during offshore helicopter travel and the actions associated with preparing for emergency deployment.

03 — Connect Breathing With Escape
Practise helicopter emergency procedures in a simulated environment, bringing equipment use, restraint management and underwater escape into one controlled sequence.

04 — Continue the Response Beyond the Cabin
Apply sea-survival and emergency first-aid techniques before progressing into firefighting and self-rescue exercises where visibility and normal movement may be restricted.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
No training prerequisites are required. Training activities contained within this Product may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All personnel who participate in such activities must be capable of participating fully.
ADDITIONAL MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS
On the day of training the learner will have to undergo a fitness for dive, medical screening by a qualified dive medical doctor or physician before entering the water for Additional In-Water CA-EBS training, performed in Shallow Water poolside less than 0.7 meter in depth.
AIM
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.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the BOSIET (with CA-EBS) Training are that learners will be able to:
-
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.
-
Identify key offshore related safety regulations and explain the basic safety management concepts
-
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
-
Demonstrate sea survival and first aid techniques
-
Demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment, and practice self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, including smoke-filled areas.
ACHIEVEMENT OF CERTIFICATION
To achieve the Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System) Training the learner will need to complete the 4 mandatory units. Safety Induction, Sea Survival & Emergency First Aid, Fire Fighting & Self Rescue, Helicopter Safety & Escape CA-EBS
Familiarity With the Equipment Changes the Starting Point
In a helicopter emergency, there is little value in seeing critical equipment for the first time when the situation is already developing. BOSIET with CA-EBS builds familiarity before the emergency—then connects equipment use with the actions required through ditching, escape and survival.
