Helideck Incidents Perth
Respond to a Helideck Incident
The purpose of ERGT’s Helideck Incidents (HDI) course is to provide personnel with the skills and knowledge required to provide essential rescue and containment services in a helideck incident.

In the event of an incident, the person would be required to identify the course of action to be taken and undertake a front line role in rescue operations and damage control. At all times they would be cooperating with other members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT).
