OPITO BOSIET Digital Delivery

This is an online learning method, an alternative to classroom sessions at the training centre. Delegates will complete the theoretical content of the training programme via completion of the BOSIET (with CA-EBS) on-line programme prior to attending an OPITO-approved training centre to observe live demonstrations, and complete the assessment of the training programme.

Each module is designed to introduce delegates to the specific issues and regimes relevant to offshore installations and to equip them with the basic emergency response knowledge and skills for travelling to and from offshore installations by helicopter.

The course involves theoretical and practical training, with demonstrations where necessary. The objectives of the BOSIET are that delegates 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 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, to include smoke-filled areas.

The Course covers these 4 modules: 

• The safety Induction
• Helicopter Underwater Emergency training
• Sea Survival
• Fire Fighting.

Candidates must be fit and able to complete all aspects of training. This course is physically demanding and candidates will be required to complete a medical declaration prior to course commencement besides being in possession of a current offshore medical certificate.
