I am sure at some stage they will bring some extra cert or examination all at a extra cost to offshore personnel . Sounds like one more item that we will need to have in the years to come all at more extra cost .
At the moment I think I have HUET / FOET , H2S Cert , HV Cert , Free Fall life Boat Cert ,MIST , Escape Chute OLF , OGUK Medical and CA-EBS These are just your basic certs and your client may want lots of others
I hate to think how much money is generated from these above courses , I am all for safety but I still think that many could be put together in a package like HUET / FOET + MIST or FOET + CA-EBS since the CA-EBS is only a 1.5 hours long .
However at the end of the day its what the client requires
