“We are pleased to finally be approved to deliver this much requested course to our clients, proving once again our continued commitment to delivering internationally accredited safety training to our clients in Indonesia,” said Jim Truesdell, President Director at PT Samson Tiara. “The adoption of CA-EBS in the offshore industry has increased over the past few years and it is very important that we be able to meet the customers need for training with this life saving device.”
CA-EBS vs EBS
The Emergency Breathing System (EBS) has been in use on helicopters in the offshore industry for quite some time. Also referred to as “rebreathers” or “air-pockets”, the traditional EBS has an air lung built into the lifejacket, into which the wearer exhales their own air in the event of a ditching at sea. The purpose of this is to give the wearer additional time to escape a capsized helicopter by allowing them to re-breath the air in the lifejacket, particularly in cold water environments where the water temperature makes it difficult for the wearer to hold their breath.
Rather than relying on the wearer to exhale into the life jacket’s air lung, Compressed Air EBS uses a small, compressed air cylinder to deliver fresh air to the wearer. This set up is smaller, but still very similar in principle to the air systems used by SCUBA divers.
The CA-EBS training in both the standalone and add-on courses, aims to teach delegates how to properly utilise CA-EBS in an emergency, the differences between CA-EBS and traditional EBS as well as the hazards associated with its use.
