OPITO CA-EBS (5902)
The OPITO CA-EBS training course (OPITO code 5902) is intended for personnel travelling by helicopter to and from offshore installations/vessels. This system will be provided to these personnel for use in the event of an emergency situation such as an emergency landing on water. The Compressed Air Emergency Breathing System is in many places the replacement for the older EBS systems (Emergency Breathing System, also known as airpockets), where breathing air was collected from the user and used multiple times to extend the time of escape.
The objectives of this training are that you will gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the risks and characteristics of a Compressed (compressed) Air Emergency Breathing System and - when the need arises - use the system correctly in practice.
