*1. Target Group
This training programme is designed to meet the initial offshore safety and emergency response training requirements for personnel new (or returning) to
the offshore oil and gas industry in a tropical environment.

*2. Delegate Pre-requisites
No training prerequisites are required.

*3. Physical and Stressful Demands
Training and/or assessment activities contained within this Standard may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All personnel
who participate in such activities must be physically and mentally capable of participating fully.
Therefore to ensure that prior to participating in practical exercises, the delegates will be required to undergo medical screening by completing appropriate
medical screening form provided by QISC.

*4. Aims and Objectives
The aim of the T-BOSIET is to introduce delegates to the specific safety issues and regimes relevant to offshore installations, and to equip them with the
basic emergency response knowledge and skills for travelling to and from offshore installations by helicopter in a tropical environment.

*5. Learning Outcomes / Assessment Criteria
MODULE 1 Learning Outcomes Safety Induction
To successfully complete this module, delegates must be able to:
(1) Identify the main offshore hazards and hazard effects/consequences; explain their associated risks, and how they are controlled.
(2) Explain the potential environmental impact of offshore installation operations.
(3) Identify key offshore installation safety regulations and explain the basic concept of these regulations.
(4) Explain the principles of managing safety on offshore installations.
(5) State the procedure for prescribed medicines offshore.
(6) Explain the concept of alcohol and substance abuse policy.
(7) Explain PPE requirements of working on an offshore installation.
(8) Explain how to report incidents, accidents and near misses on an offshore installation.
(9) Explain the role of the Offshore Medic.

MODULE 2 Learning Outcomes Helicopter Safety and Escape
To successfully complete this module, delegates must be able to demonstrate:
(1) Donning an aviation lifejacket.
(2) Actions to take in preparation for a helicopter ditching and an emergency landing.
(3) Actions following a controlled emergency descent to a dry landing with evacuation via a nominated exit.
(4) Actions following a controlled ditching on water (including operation of a push out window on instruction from aircrew) and evacuate through a
nominated exit to an aviation liferaft.
(5) Assist others where possible in carrying out initial actions on boarding the aviation liferaft, to include mooring lines, deploying the sea anchor, raising
the canopy and raft maintenance.
(6) Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (without operation of a push out window).
(7) Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (including the operation of a push out window).
(8) Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (without operation of a push out window).
(9) Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (including the operation of a push out window)
(10) Inflating an aviation lifejacket and deploying a spray visor in water
(11) Boarding an aviation liferaft from water.

MODULE 3 Learning Outcomes Sea Survival
To successfully complete this module, delegates must be able to demonstrate:
(1) Donning of a permanent buoyancy lifejacket prior to use in an emergency.
(2) The correct actions when mustering and boarding a survival craft (TEMPSC) as a passenger during launching operations.
(3) Fitting of a helicopter rescue device and correct body posture during winching.
(4) Water entry (stepping off poolside, maximum height 1 metre) and the precautions to be taken when entering the water
(5) Individual and group sea survival techniques, to include: swimming, getting into Heat Escape Lessening Position (HELP), wave-slap protection, towing,
chain, huddle and circle.
(6) Boarding a marine liferaft from the water.
(7) Immediate first aid actions, including checking airways, breathing and industry recognised first aid practice

MODULE 4 Learning Outcomes Firefighting and Self Rescue
To successfully complete this module, delegates must be able to demonstrate:
(1) Correct use of hand held portable fire extinguishers and which ones to use for different classes of fires.
(2) Self-rescue techniques with a smoke hood or partial blindfold from areas where delegate visibility is reduced.
(3) Self-rescue techniques with a smoke hood or partial blindfold from areas where delegate visibility is completely obscured.
(4) Small group escape techniques with a smoke hood or partial blindfold from areas where delegate visibility is completely obscured.

*6. Delegate Performance Assessment / Certification / Validity
Delegate Performance Assessment: Delegates will be assessed against the learning outcomes specified in MODULE 1 using written examination and
MODULE 2, MODULE 3 & MODULE 4 using direct observation.
Certification: OPITO Approved Certification with Four Years validity

*7. Instructor & Delegate Ratio
The following ratios indicate the maximum number of delegates to be supervised by one Instructor at any one time during each activity.
Theory & Demonstration 1:16
Dry Helicopter Escape Trainer 1:8
TEMPSC (per craft) Theory & Demonstration 1:8
Practical exercise 1:4

*8. Duration and Timing
The optimum ‘contact time’ for this training is seen as 19 hours.
