About This Course

The Further Offshore Emergency Training (FOET) course is a specialized program designed to enhance the skills and preparedness of individuals working offshore in the oil and gas industry. Building upon the foundational knowledge gained in basic offshore safety training, participants will undergo advanced training in emergency response procedures, survival techniques, and helicopter safety. Key topics covered in this course include: Advanced Emergency Response: Enhancing proficiency in responding to offshore emergencies, including fire incidents, evacuation procedures, helicopter emergencies, and platform abandonment. Helicopter Safety and Underwater Escape: Advanced training in helicopter safety procedures, including simulated helicopter underwater escape training (HUET) scenarios to prepare participants for potential helicopter ditching situations. Sea Survival Skills: Building upon basic sea survival skills with advanced techniques for surviving in offshore environments, including advanced life jacket use, life raft deployment, and group survival scenarios. Emergency First Aid: Advancing knowledge and skills in emergency first aid techniques tailored to offshore medical emergencies, including trauma care, CPR, and AED use. Environmental Conditions Awareness: Developing awareness and strategies for dealing with adverse weather conditions, rough seas, and other environmental challenges commonly encountered offshore. Practical Drills and Simulations: Engaging in realistic drills and simulations to practice emergency response procedures and survival techniques in a controlled offshore environment. The FOET course is essential for offshore personnel seeking to maintain and enhance their readiness for emergencies and ensure their ability to respond effectively to challenging offshore situations.
