Introduction and Course Description The oil and gas industry recognises that a major objective is to prevent incidents occurring, and if they do occur to be able to respond effectively to them. It is important therefore to set common standards and to ensure that they are maintained. Before personnel can be assessed against standards they will require the knowledge and skills to enable them to carry out the tasks involved. The purpose of this document is to set out the basic training and further practice requirements for Offshore Lifeboat Coxswains which will be conducted at an onshore training establishment. The duty holder should recognise that this is only part of a broader training programme. The duty holder must provide their own offshore training to produce an installation competent coxswain and the OPITO Approved Offshore Lifeboat Coxswain Competence Standard is available for this purpose.

Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations TEMPSC Valid Certificate Simulation Simulator Totally Enclosed Motor Propelled Survival Craft A certificate which is in-date i.e. has not expired A simulation is a structured practical exercise with specific objectives involving the organisation and completion of a product or resource based task and which seeks to simulate real-life conditions. In a simulation the candidates are active participants who shape the result by their involvement. To be effective, simulations must succeed in recreating the atmosphere, conditions and pressures of the real situation. A simulation focuses on a particular activity and aims to test behavioural, analytical and decision-making skills in a realistic setting. A device designed to provide a realistic physical imitation of the controls and operation of a vehicle, aircraft, or other complex system, used for training and or/assessment purposes.
