GWO- Basic Safety training Offshore

This course shall enable participants to support and care for themselves and others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge and skills of first aid, working at heights, manual handling, fire awareness, sea survival and in case of an emergency, to be able to evacuate, rescue and provide appropriate first aid to casualties. 

This part-time course includes both online and in-person training at the training centre. The online portion covers theoretical learning that must be completed before attending the centre, reducing the time required on-site. The same content is delivered as in a physical classroom, with additional support provided for any areas of uncertainty. The combination of theoretical and practical learning ensures a thorough understanding of each module topic.

The safety training course is divided into the following five modules:

• Working at Heights: This module covers essential techniques and procedures for safely working at heights. Participants learn about the correct use of personal protective equipment, risk assessment, and effective methods for performing tasks at height, as well as basic rescue operations.

• First Aid: This module provides training on how to handle medical emergencies effectively and safely. The focus is on identifying signs of life-threatening conditions, applying basic first aid measures, and correctly using first aid equipment to save lives and prevent further injury until professional help is available.

• Manual Handling: This module equips participants with skills for ergonomically correct manual handling of loads. Training includes techniques for lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling, as well as methods and procedures to avoid musculoskeletal injuries.

• Fire Safety: Participants learn about fire prevention, hazard identification, and how to manage fire-related emergencies. The module includes training use of firefighting equipment, evacuation procedures, and ensuring that all personnel are safely evacuated and accounted for in the event of a fire.

• Sea Survival: This module focuses on essential skills and knowledge for surviving at sea. Participants learn about emergency procedures for abandoning a vessel, using survival equipment, and techniques for signalling for rescue. The training also includes practical exercises in water survival to ensure participants can respond effectively in maritime emergencies.
