The OPITO HUET with EBS (5095) stands for Helicopter Underwater Escape Training with Emergency Breathing System and is designed for personnel traveling to and from offshore oil and gas installations or vessels by helicopter. This training is essential for anyone new or returning to the offshore energy sector who will be issued a rebreather EBS, ensuring they are prepared for helicopter emergencies and equipped with the skills needed to escape safely in the event of a ditching. The HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) is delivered as a single module within the broader OPITO BOSIET course. Unlike other offshore safety courses, the OPITO HUET does not have a refresher option. This means it must be fully retaken every 4 years once the certification expires.
