More information about OPITO BOSIET with EBS (5700) + CA-EBS (5902)

Our OPITO BOSIET with EBS (5700) + CA-EBS (5902) course provides comprehensive safety training for anyone seeking to work in the offshore oil and gas industry worldwide. This combined program covers both the Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) and the Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS), both of which are OPITO approved. The training is mandatory for all personnel working offshore and is designed to introduce delegates to the specific safety issues and emergency response procedures relevant to offshore installations. The course also equips participants with essential knowledge and practical skills for safe helicopter travel to and from offshore locations.

The BOSIET component includes practical exercises in fire prevention, work safety procedures, helicopter safety including Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), basic medical knowledge, and survival at sea. Upon successful completion, participants receive an OPITO approved BOSIET certificate, which remains valid for four years. To maintain certification, the Further Offshore Emergency Training (FOET) refresher course is required before the BOSIET certificate expires. More information about the OPITO and Further Offshore Emergency Training FOET courses is available on our website.

The CA-EBS component is essential for those traveling by helicopter to and from offshore installations in the UK and the Netherlands, with the Danish sector expected to adopt this requirement soon. This training ensures delegates understand the differences between re-breather and compressed air systems, the correct use of CA-EBS in helicopter emergencies, and the associated hazards. For those deemed medically unfit, practical exercises for Sea Survival and HUET are conducted in a swimming pool, while CA-EBS assessments are completed on dry land.
