WMA is the first and currently the only maritime training provider in the world offering OPITO approved combined BOSIET with Escape Chute Training and FOET with Escape Chute Training courses. These combined courses are more widely acceptable internationally, including the European North Sea sector. <\/p>\n
Escape chutes are used as a means of escape from offshore oil and gas installations and vessels. The aim of this training programme is to give students an understanding of various escape chute systems used in the industry, and practice using them as a means of tertiary escape from offshore installations and vessels. <\/p>\n
Escape chute training is an additional module developed by OPITO, and is acceptable under the Mutual Recognition of Basic and Refresher Safety and Emergency Preparedness Training agreement between Oil & Gas UK, OLF (Norway), NSOC-D (Denmark) and NOGEPA (Netherlands). <\/p>\n
The Mutual Recognition document has been in effect since November 2007 and has been revised in January 2011 and February 2013 to harmonise offshore survival training standards within all sectors of the European North Sea. This course will satisfy the offshore survival training requirements for personnel intending to work in these European sectors. <\/p>\n
