Course Overview

The OPITO Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) 5750 is a comprehensive course designed for learners entering or returning to offshore oil and gas roles. This training equips learners with essential skills to respond effectively to emergencies, including helicopter ditching scenarios, and ensures safe travel over cold and warm waters.

ERGT’s OPITO Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System 5750 (BOSIET CA-EBS 5750) prepares personnel for safe offshore operations in the oil and gas industry. Designed for new or returning workers who require valid certification, this immersive two-day course combines theory and hands-on practical training to build confidence in emergency response, helicopter safety, sea survival, firefighting, and basic first aid.

Delivered at ERGT’s specialised safety training centres, the course meets the global standards of OPITO (Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation). Learners gain practical experience using CA-EBS equipment and develop essential skills to respond effectively in high-risk offshore environments. No formal prerequisites are required, though learners must meet medical requirements for offshore work and have the physical ability to participate in all practical activities.

On successful demonstration of the learning outcomes you will be issued the following OPITO Digital certification:
Record of Achievement in OPITO approved Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) 5750
Learners will receive a digital Certificate via email on completion of the course

This course is delivered through a blend of:

Facilitator-led classroom sessions covering offshore safety, emergency response, basic first aid, firefighting principles, and helicopter safety.

Hands-on practical training in sea survival techniques, including life raft deployment, immersion suit use, and warm and cold water drills.

Practical exercises in the use of Compressed Air Emergency Breathing Systems (CA-EBS) for safe evacuation in simulated emergencies.

Scenario-based exercises simulating offshore emergency situations, including evacuation, fire response, and medical emergencies.

Performance-based assessments to confirm competence in all practical and theoretical elements of offshore safety and emergency procedures.
The BOSIET CA-EBS 5750 course is designed for individuals required to work offshore in the oil and gas industry, including new entrants and returning personnel who no longer hold valid certification. Typical learners include offshore operators, technicians, and safety personnel.

Delivered over two days at ERGT Australia, this training prepares learners for emergency response, survival, and safety operations in offshore environments. Learners must meet the physical demands of the course, including water-based activities, evacuation drills, and emergency response scenarios. A current industry-approved or HUET medical is required for this course. Please refer to this link for more information HUET Medical

Learners must also have basic Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLND) skills to understand safety procedures and complete assessments. Learners must be able to access and navigate a digital device to log in and access the course materials. Support for leaners is available on request. More information is available on our website.
