Australia’s oil and gas industry has adopted the Common Safety Training Program (CSTP) for all personnel working in offshore production and drilling facilities. The CSTP aims to ensure that all new and existing employees have the same core foundation of safety skills. All existing personnel who meet the experienced worker definition will have to go through a combined Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and safety behaviour observation process to attain a CSTP card. Personnel who are frequent visitors offshore to a production or drilling facility; that is, they spend more than five consecutive nights on an offshore facility or undertake six or more visits offshore within a 12-month period must also attain a CSTP card. As part of the Common Safety Training Program for experienced workers, companies have the option of conducting their own RPL process. This workplace approach has relied on organisations being able to base their decision on accurate records of training applicable to agreed CSTP development areas. In many instances organisations have had difficulty in accessing and recording this evidence. IFAP is able to provide assistance by offering a one day assessment to meet the RPL requirements of the Common Safety Training Program.

The objective is to provide refresher training for the practical components of previously completed OPITO TBOSIET courses and to assess knowledge retention in the following areas: • Helicopter underwater escape theory and practical • First response fire fighting theory and practical • Self rescue from smoke theory and practical The strategy includes assessment of retained knowledge, brief classroom practical training introduction, practical exercises, practical experiential training and discussion.

Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), related sea survival and an introduction to offshore work (permit-to-work, OSH regulations, first aid reminder etc). The TBOSIET is recognised and accepted as the 'Fit for Purpose' internationally recognised standard in most SE Asian and Middle Eastern countries (Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Abu Dhabi, Azabyjan). An IFAP issued TBOSIET is recognised by all OPITO approved training centres worldwide. TBOSIET certificate holders can also easily upgrade to the UK (or cold water) BOSIET qualification required for the North Sea and other cold water areas. Participants upgrading will need to complete additional HUET simulator exercises while wearing a transit suit and using an emergency breathing system. This upgrade course is available at IFAP and most other OPITO approved facilities who hold both the BOSIET and TBOSIET approvals.
