OPITO Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) with CA-EBS
OPITO BOSIET training with CA-EBS includes the Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS). It is often referred to as 'offshore survival training'.
BOSIET training with CA-EBS is considered the North Sea requirement, if you require a BOSIET with CA-EBS and EBS (which is considered the international BOSIET requirement) you can book an OPITO Combined BOSIET >>
PLEASE NOTE: BOSIET with CA-EBS is accepted for working in the North Sea. It may also be accepted by some companies internationally, however this would be at the discretion of the employer, and AIS Survivex recommend you confirm with your employer before booking. If you are unsure where you will be working, the combined BOSIET covers all international waters.
Course Overview
BOSIET training introduces specific safety issues and regimes relevant to offshore installations. Delegates will be provided with a range of knowledge and skills relevant to travelling offshore by helicopter and working offshore.
The training covers the proper use of emergency equipment and procedures, with the aim to enhance survivability by providing the knowledge, skills and confidence to respond effectively in the event of an offshore emergency. This includes the use of a compressed air emergency breathing system (CA-EBS) which is supplied during offshore helicopter travel.
Delegates will gain a basic level of understanding and awareness of the hazards which can be encountered on offshore installations, and the safety management systems in place to control and mitigate those hazards.
