Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit of competency is designed to allow persons to improve their chances of survival through the application of agreed sea survival techniques and strategies following abandonment of the facility.
Offshore facilities may include:
offshore rig or platform
floating production vessel.
Personnel may be required to select and deploy the appropriate safety equipment, launch available sea-going survival craft, assist in the survival of other persons, and activate location beacons or homing devices.
Generally the operations technician would be part of a team. They would be expected to be capable of performing all facets of the competency whilst following site specific procedures. At all times they would be liaising and communicating with relevant team members.
In an emergency scenario personnel on an off-shore facility may be required to abandon his/her station due to an on-site emergency and then survive at sea.
