In April we wrote about how an offshore commissioning trip<\/a> might be conducted.
\nNow we would like to give you a brief explanation why certain certificates are needed before being able to work on an offshore platform and how to obtain them.<\/p>\n

To be allowed to step on an offshore platform, commissioners and other personnel need to prove that they received special training complying with international standards and that they learned how to react properly in emergency situations at sea.<\/p>\n

Well-known standards worldwide are OPITO (Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation) and NOGEPA (Netherlands Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Association).<\/p>\n

Various international providers train and certify attendees (groups, mostly up to 12 participants) according to the standards mentioned above. Usually the certificates are valid for four years and the training has to be repeated regularly.<\/p>\n

BOSIET (Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Response Training) is a basic training course with the aim to prepare the participants for appropriate behavior <\/span>in a general case of emergency at sea<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The HUET & EBS (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training and Emergency Breathing System) course, for example, focuses on training the right behavior in case of a helicopter crash<\/span>. In this course you learn how to exit a helicopter that sinks and\/ or that is about to capsize. Furthermore, you practice how to open a helicopter window and how to use an emergency respirator under water.<\/p>\n

Both training courses are usually split into two parts. The theoretical lectures built the foundation and the basic knowledge, whereas the practical parts stick out with simulated crashes and maritime search and rescue (SAR) exercises.<\/p>\n

To take part in a course like this a participant should show a good level of physical fitness.<\/p>\n

Generally, platform operators decide which standards have to be fulfilled by their employees. At the moment there is no superior certificate which combines all relevant standards. Therefore, depending on the platform and its operators, you may need different certificates.<\/p>\n
