The OPITO approved Helicopter Underwater Escape (HUET) Training Programs with Emergency Breathing System (EBS) or with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) are designed for personnel travelling to offshore installations/vessels via helicopter when issued with an Emergency Breathing System (EBS) or with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS). The HUET program is also known as Helicopter Underwater Egress Training.
The aim of the HUET (with EBS or CA-EBS) program is to prepare delegates that intend to travel to and from offshore oil and gas installations and vessels by helicopter by providing specific training in pre-flight and in-flight requirements and to equip delegates with the basic emergency response knowledge and skills required in the event of a helicopter emergency - with specific focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching.
