On board: CA-EBS (OPITO 5902 / NOGEPA 0.5C)

The Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System (CA-EBS) approved by OPITO and NOGEPA was developed in response to the CAA Report (CAP 1145) for passengers traveling in the UK sector by helicopter to and from an offshore installation or ship. From September 2014 this training is compulsory for the UK sector and from 1 May 2015 this training is also made mandatory in the Netherlands. STC-KNRM is accredited by OPITO and NOGEPA to provide this training.

The objective of this training is to provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and to provide insight into the properties and possible dangers of a Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System.
After the training, the participants know how to apply the system in practice in the right way.
