Aim

The aim of the FOET (with EBS) is to provide the delegates with the opportunity to practise and demonstrate emergency response skills which are not possible to practise during drills, exercises and emergency training offshore.

Course Objective

The objectives of the FOET (with EBS) are that delegates will be able to: (a) 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. (b) Demonstrate that they can use basic firefighting equipment effectively, and use self-rescue techniques in low visibility and completely obscured visibility situations e.g. smoke filled areas. (c) Demonstrate that they can perform basic first aid.

Target Audience

This training programme is designed to meet the further 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 rebreather emergency breathing system (EBS) during offshore helicopter travel. The FOET (with EBS) is open to persons who have a valid (in-date) OPITO-approved BOSIET, TBOSIET, FOET or TFOET certificate.
