This introductory safety training programme is designed to introduce the fundamental safety elements of the offshore oil & gas industry to new starts, giving an appreciatte their personal responsibility for safety thus influencing their behaviour and attitude towards their co-workers, the installation and the environment. They will be required to demonstrate a sufficient level of knowledge and understanding of the following key areas:

• Module 1: Introduction to the hazardous offshore environment
  
• Module 2: Working safely including safety observation systems
  
• Module 3: Understanding the risk assessment process
  
• Module 4: Tasks that require permit to work
  
• Module 5: Personal responsibility in maintaining asset integrity
  
• Module 6: Using manual handling techniques everyday
  
• Module 7: Controlling the use of hazardous substances offshore
  
• Module 8: Knowledge and practices of working at height
  
• Module 9: Being aware of mechanical lifting activities

It is expected that this programme will be taken after the OPITO approved BOSIET course so training providers can build on the material gained previously. However, if this is not the case then the BOSIET course will be required prior to travelling offshore and the delegate should expect a small proportion of repeat information.
