*1. Target Group
This training programme is designed to meet the 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 Tropical HUET training programme is to prepare delegates that intend to travel to and from offshore oil and gas installations and vessels by
helicopter in a tropical environment by providing specific training in pre-flight and in-flight requirements and to equip delegates with the basic emergency
response knowledge and skills required in the event of a helicopter emergency – with specific focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching and
sea survival techniques.

*5. Learning Outcomes / Assessment Criteria
MODULE 1 – 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 apush 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
(11) Boarding an aviation liferaft from water.
(12) Being rescued by one of the recognized methods available offshore and survivor actions following rescue

MODULE 2 – 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. Delegate Performance Assessment / Certification / Validity
Delegate Performance Assessment: Delegates will be assessed against the learning outcomes MODULE 1 & MODULE 2 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 8 hrs.
