OPITO Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) with Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) recognize similarities between the BOSIET training requirements for workers travelling to offshore installations and the maritime industry’s STCW95/2010 certification, OPITO noted. It is delivered via a one-day conversion course, which was said to have been successfully piloted in early 2020. The new standard provides an efficient way for marine personnel to broaden their career options, according to OPITO, which outlined that the opportunity for maritime employees to transition between the offshore sectors has been impacted by differing training practices and procedures.
