    Aims and objectives of the BOSIET

    • Delegates must be able to identify the hazards which are specific to offshore oil and gas installations, explain potential risks associated with those hazards, and how controls are put in place to eliminate or reduce risks.
    • Delegates must be able to 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.
    • Delegates must be able to demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment, and practice self rescue techniques in low visibility situations e.g. smoke filled areas.

    The course takes place in our state of the art maritime facilities, which contains an environmental pool capable of simulating any environment.

    All delegates will need the following items:
