Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) with CA-EBS and Escape Chute Training

About this course

This course is designed for new entrants to the offshore oil and gas industry in the areas of offshore activity using compressed air emergency breathing systems (CAEBS) (see note below). Most offshore oil and gas installations, wind farm and vessel operators require their employees, contractors and, in some cases, even visitors to undertake this training prior to travelling offshore.  

The training covers the requirements for areas of offshore activities where compressed air emergency breathing systems (CAEBS) are in use. Inclusive escape chute training (ECT) meets mandatory or company specific training requirements with this safety equipment. The combined training program is fully approved by OPITO, with supporting certification (see below) and both accredited to the Vantage database upon successful completion.  

You will be eligible to receive a 10% discount against the cost of a MIST (Minimum Industry Safety Training) course when purchased at the same time as either Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training with Escape Chute Training or Basic Offshore Safety Induction & Emergency with CA-EBS and Escape Chute Training.
