Learning outcomes BOSIET

The learning outcomes are specified for each of the following modules; they are:

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.

Learning Outcomes Helicopter Safety and Escape

To successfully complete this module, delegates must be able to demonstrate:

  1. Donning an aviation transit suit, aviation lifejacket and emergency breathing system equipment (EBS)1 and conducting EBS integrity checks.
  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. Deployment, operation and breathing from EBS in a pool utilising personal air prior to HUET exercises (delegate to experience positive and negative pressure created by the body orientation in water).
  5. Actions following a controlled ditching on water (including deploying EBS and, on instruction from aircrew, operation of a push out window) and evacuate through a nominated exit to an aviation liferaft.
  6. 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.
  7. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (without deploying EBS or operation of a push out window).
  8. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (deploying, operating and breathing from EBS equipment but without operation of a push out window).
  9. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (deploying, operating and breathing from EBS equipment and operation of a push out window).
  10. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (without deployment of EBS or operation of a push out window).
  11. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (*deploying and operating EBS on the surface prior to capsize but without operation of a push out window).
  12. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (*deploying and operating EBS on the surface prior to capsize and the operation of a push out window).
  13. Inflating an aviation lifejacket and deploying a spray visor in water
  14. Boarding an aviation liferaft from water.

*All delegates must deploy and operate the EBS and should be encouraged to breathe from the EBS throughout the capsize exercises.

Note1: Some manufacturers have integrated the EBS equipment into the life jacket or transit suit.

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 strop and correct body posture during winching.
  4. Individual and group sea survival techniques, to include: swimming, getting into Heat Escape Lessening Position (HELP), wave-slap protection, towing, chain, huddle and circle.
  5. Boarding a marine liferaft from the water.
  6. *Immediate first aid actions, to include: ABC

*Immediate first aid actions – putting casualty in the recovery position: delegates must get instruction and demonstration only from instructors on putting a casualty into the recovery position but do not need to demonstrate this.

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 from areas where visibility is reduced due to smoke.
  3. Self-rescue techniques with a smoke hood from areas where visibility is completely obscured.
  4. Small group escape techniques with a smoke hood from areas where visibility is completely obscured.
