INTRODUCTION AND COURSE DESCRIPTION The Travel Safely by Boat standards were originally a core element of the Tropical Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Response Training standard (TBOSIET), which was developed jointly by the management of MEGAMAS Training Company Sdn Bhd; Kuala Belait, Brunei and Brunei Shell Petroleum. The element was titled Travel Safely by Boat and addressed the Brunei regional requirement for boat travel to and from offshore platforms and transfer of personnel between the vessel and the offshore platform. Those regions where boat travel and transfer is prevalent can now adopt this standard. It is a major objective of the offshore oil and gas industry to prevent incidents occurring and if they do occur to be able to respond effectively to them. The training establishment should recognise that the Travel Safely by Boat training is only part of a broader basic safety training programme and therefore boat transfer training must not be delivered in isolation. There will also be company and installation specific inductions and emergency response training of which most will be conducted offshore on a regular basis as offshore drills and exercises.

SECTION A INITIAL TRAINING The information in this section is for trainers. It provides the requirements for Initial Training which includes a programme to enable delegates to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills which underpin the tasks to be performed. A.1 Target Group for Initial Training This programme is designed to meet the initial onshore safety and emergency response training for new entrants and all personnel currently travelling and transferring by boat to an offshore oil and gas installation. A.2 Delegate Pre-requisites for Initial training No prerequisites are required. Delegates who are in possession of a current BOSIET(with EBS), FOET(with EBS), HUET (with EBS), Tropical BOSIET, Tropical FOET, Tropical HUET, BOSIET (with CA- EBS), HUET (with CA-EBS) or FOET (with CA-EBS) are not required to participate in practical life raft and in-water sea survival exercises. Revision 5 Amendment 1 (7 th May 2018) Page 6 of 31

A.3 Physical and Stressful Demands of the Initial Training Course Training and/or assessment activities contained within this Standard may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All personnel who participate in such activities must be physically and mentally capable of participating fully. Therefore OPITO-approved training centres are required, as a minimum, to ensure that prior to participating in practical exercises the delegate either: a) Possess a valid, current offshore medical certificate or b) Possess an operator approved medical certificate, or c) Undergoes medical screening by completing an appropriate medical screening form provided by the OPITO-approved centre (a list of medical conditions which could be included in a medical screening form is available from OPITO). The OPITO-approved Centre must keep a record of the delegate s/candidate s declaration of fitness in accordance with their document control policy(s) or procedures. This information, along with summary details of the type of physical activities the delegate/candidate will be asked to perform, will be given to delegates/candidates by the OPITOapproved Centre and, if applicable, to their sponsoring company as part of the joining instructions. The responsibility for declaring any current or pre-existing medical conditions that could have adverse effects to the individual s state of health while undertaking the training and/or assessment activities lies with the delegate/candidate and/or company sponsoring the delegate. Where doubt exists regarding the fitness of any delegate/candidate, the OPITO-approved Centre must direct the individual to consult a medical officer familiar with the nature and extent of the training. Note: Practical exercises must be designed and delivered solely to meet this standard, and must not place on the delegates any physical or mental demands other than those required to meet the Standard.
