Our Crew Basket Transfer Familiarization course is designed for offshore and maritime personnel who are transported by crew basket between ships or offshore installations. This dry training focuses on increasing safety awareness and familiarizing participants with the procedures and operations involved in crew basket transfers. Throughout the course, participants gain essential knowledge and practical skills to ensure they can be transported safely and responsibly using a crew basket.
During the Crew Basket Transfer Familiarization training, we use a Billy Pugh crew basket to simulate real-life transfer scenarios. The training covers the key aspects of safe personnel transfer, including identifying potential risks and understanding the responsibilities involved. This course is often combined with other essential offshore safety courses on the same day, such as the Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) or Further Offshore Emergency Training (FOET).
