The physical demands of sea survival training
Personnel flying offshore have to undertake sea survival training with a recognised provider. This report describes a research study to consider the physical demands of this training and the success rate of those completing it.
The research study was undertaken in two parts. The first part comprised a review of the sea survival training undertaken internationally with the aims of identifying the most physically demanding tasks associated with sea survival training and the pass/fail rates on such courses. The second part quantified the physical demands of the key essential tasks of sea survival training. These are:
- entering a liferaft;
- towing a casualty;
- helicopter underwater escape training (HUET), and
- EBS training.
The observations on each of the essential tasks are presented and conclusions drawn in respect of adequate training.
