Tropical Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (TBOSIET)

Incorporating Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET). OPITO Approved.

IFAP's TBOSIET course has been developed to be an internationally accepted warm water course covering Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), related sea survival and an introduction to offshore work (permit-to-work, OSH regulations, first-aid reminder etc). The TBOSIET is accepted as the "Fit for Purpose" internationally recognised standard in most SE Asian countries .


T(Brunei, Philippines, Malaysia) - with other countries expected to follow. An IFAP issued TBOSIET is recognised by all OPITO training centres worldwideBOSIET certificate holders can also easily cross-grade to the UK (or cold water) BOSIET qualification required for the North Sea. Participants upgrading will need to complete the UK Legislation module and a successful HUET simulator escape whilst wearing a transit suit and platform abandonment using an immersion suit. This upgrade course is available at IFAP, and most other OPITO approved
facilities who hold both the BOSIET and TBOSIET approvals.
Objective

To equip offshore personnel with the knowledge, skills and confidence to respond appropriately in the event of an emergency whilst offshore and to enhance their survivability in the event of an emergency through the proper use of emergency equipment and procedures.

The course achieves the following Nationally Recognised Competencies from the PMA08 Chemicals, Hydrocarbons and Oil Refining Training Package:

* PMAOHS215B Apply offshore facility abandonment and sea survival procedures
* PMAOHS214B Undertake helicopter safety
* MSAPMOHS212A Undertake first response to fire incidents

Maritime Training Package:

* TDMMF1107B Survive at sea in the event of vessel abandonment.

These competencies may contribute to the achievement of nationally recognised qualifications.
