Training modules explained

Risk Awareness & Operational Strategy

(Executive Level - 2 hours)

This training targets management and planners. It covers comparisons of different crew supply strategies, risk awareness, operational assets and key planning considerations.

Operational Best Practice

(Manager/Supervisor Level - 4 hours)

Developing risk awareness and a deeper understanding of industry best practice: this training focuses on the key operational aspects of managing risks in marine transfers and is directed to personnel involved in supervising or influencing the safety and efficiency of offshore transfer operations. The content covers risk awareness, lift planning and execution as well as pre-use inspections.

Operational best practice module includes theory (crane transfer risks, transfer planning, transfer operations) and practice (pre-use checks, passenger loading procedures, MedEvac transfers).

Passenger Induction: using the products with confidence

(All staff levels – 2 hours)

Within the induction module we will familiarise you with the products, explain the basics of using the equipment safely, including passenger and crane operator briefings, pre-use visual inspection procedure and MedEvac mode transfers (stretcher installation and safe transfer of casualties).  

Inspection & Maintenance

(Technician level)

The Inspection & Maintenance module provides the context and in-depth knowledge required to ensure your safety-critical assets can be used with full confidence. This is a practical, hands-on type of experience most suitable for for technicians, inspectors and supervisors.

• Level 1 (Routine - 4 hours) – This training focuses on routine I&M procedures including Visual Inspections (VI) and the servicing of common wear and tear components of our different products.  Level 1 training generally takes 4 hours per product.
• Level 2 (Full Service - 8 hours) – Focused on deep servicing activities and is aimed principally at service partners with the resources and facilities to undertake major assessments, repairs and rebuilds.

Upon successful completion of this module, delegates will receive a Certificate of Competence.

Delegate Prequalification – For all I&M training delegates are screened to ensure they have the appropriate competency to perform the service activities in question. Clients are therefore generally requested to provide CVs or other evidence of work experience and competance.

Why is training important

People are every company’s greatest asset.

Our training courses provide you with the necessary information to help you ensure safety in offshore crew and cargo transfer at all levels of the operations. They allow you to gain confidence by developing a wider appreciation of risks and the skills needed to perform safety critical service tasks. Having this knowledge not only provide job-related knowledge but it can be a catalyse for positive changes in the attitude of workers, supervisors and organisation.
