OPITO THUET CA-EBS

 

The OPITO-approved THUET training program is designed for personnel traveling to offshore installations or vessels via helicopter in a warm water tropical environment. this program is designed to meet the initial safety and emergency response training requirements for personnel new (or returning) to the offshore oil and gas industry.

Prerequisites: This course has no formal pre-requisite.

Course Length: 8 - 10 Hours

Accreditation: OPITO

Learning Outcomes

Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System

Assessment Method: Direct Observation

  1. A.5.1 Donning of an aviation lifejacket, compressed air emergency breathing system (CA-EBS) equipment and conducting integrity checks of the CA-EBS equipment, including buddy checks

  2. 5.2 Deploying (left and right hand) and breathing from CA-EBS equipment at atmospheric pressure in dry conditions

  3. 5.3 Following instruction from the crew, location of CA-EBS equipment and evacuation from a helicopter using a nominated exit, following a controlled emergency descent to a dry landing (conducted in helicopter simulator at poolside on dry land)

  4. 5.4 Actions to be taken in preparing for an in-water ditching including location of exit, deploying and breathing from CA-EBS equipment at atmospheric pressure in dry conditions (conducted in helicopter simulator at poolside on dry land)

  5. 5.5 Deploying CA-EBS (above the water surface) and breathing from the CA-EBS in a pool, face down in shallow water (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)

  6. 5.6 Deploying CA-EBS (below the water surface, face down in a pool in shallow water) and clearing the mouthpiece by exhaling under the water surface (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)

  7. 5.7 Deploying CA-EBS (below the water surface, face down in a pool in shallow water, using opposite hand to previous exercise) and clearing with purge button under the water surface (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)

  8. 5.8 Deploying CA-EBS (above water surface), in a pool and breathing from CA-EBS underwater in a vertical position (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)

  9. 5.9 Deploying CA-EBS (underwater), in a pool and breathing from CA-EBS underwater in a vertical position (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)

  10. 5.10 Deploying CA-EBS (underwater), in a pool, breathing from CA-EBS underwater, and moving along a horizontal rail for a period of no less than 30 seconds, including a change in direction (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)
