More information about GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher (offshore)

Every few months, participants visit the training centre to take part in a scenario training day. During each training day, different elements from multiple BST modules are refreshed. These scenario days are focused on applying practical skills and competencies in realistic situations. To prepare participants, the instructor begins with a toolbox session to assess their current knowledge level and explain how the training equipment will be used.
Because of the scenario-based format, planning is much easier. Instead of employees being absent for a full week of intensive refresher training, they only need to attend the training centre one day every few months. This approach is also more effective, as more frequent training sessions help participants maintain the required level of knowledge, skills, and competency over time. Scenario training offers exactly this advantage.
After 24 months, and upon successful completion of the four scenario training days, the five BST module certificates of Manual Handling, First Aid, Fire Awareness, Working At Height and Sea Survival will be renewed.
