The aim of the
first day of this course is to training students to properly react
to, and survive, a helicopter ditching at sea. The training is
composed of classroom sessions on all aspects of offshore
helicopter operations, safety and survival equipment, procedures
for ditching preparation, upright helicopter evacuation, and
inverted (underwater) egress techniques. The practical aspect of
the course is surface and underwater evacuation exercises
conducted in the Modular Egress Training Simulator (METSTM).
The METSTM utilizes functional replicas of the
emergency exits installed in the commonly used helicopters
currently flying offshore. This gives the student realistic and
state of the art training with the same type of equipment they
will be functioning in a real situation.
The aim of the second day of this course
is to provide offshore personnel with the knowledge and skills
necessary to care for themselves and others in sea survival
situations for an indefinite period of time and to participate to
the maximum extent in their own rescue. This program meets and
exceeds the standards put forth by the International Association
of Sea Survival Training (IASST) and is SHELL approved. The course
includes the psychology of survival, life saving appliances,
actions prior to abandonment, survival at sea techniques and
rescue. The program consists of classroom sessions, pool
exercises, active participation in practice drills and a survival
exercise at sea.
