ERRV Crew Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training Standard Introduction The oil and gas industry recognises that a major objective is to prevent incidents occurring but, if they do happen, the priority is then to control and minimise their effect. Emergency response and rescue vessels (ERRVs) play a significant role in responding to emergencies offshore with their attendant fast rescue crafts and daughter crafts. OPITO has a suite of ERRV standards of which the ERRV Crew Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain is one. This document sets out the initial emergency response training requirements for ERRV Crew FRC coxswains which will be conducted at an onshore training establishment (Section A). Training establishments and employers should recognise that this is only part of a broader training/assessment programme as OPITO approved FRC coxswains are continuously trained and assessed based on the OPITO approved Ongoing Onboard Development and Training Programme for ERRV Masters and Crews standard (OODTP). To develop a training course, an evaluation of workplace competence is required. In other words, what does an employee have to know and do if he/she were the designated FRCC on an ERRV? The following were identified and developed for this role: What personnel are expected to do The underpinning knowledge and skills they would require to enable them to do what was expected How they could demonstrate what was expected of them How their performance would be assessed The identified knowledge and skills are outlined in Section D. The employer and OPITO approved providers of the OODTP can use this section to assess FRC boatmen in the training centre and the workplace. OPITO, as custodian, has a responsibility to the industry to maintain, develop and update this standard. For the purpose of this document: Rescue refers to the overall operations of recovering and transferring casualties Recovery refers to getting the casualties out of the water (TEMPSC, liferaft etc.) and into the FRC Transferring refers to moving the casualties from the FRC to the ERRV Revision 4 Amendment 1 (January 2020) 5

ERRV Crew Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training Standard SECTION A Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training A.1 Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Target Group This programme is designed to meet the initial emergency response training requirements for an ERRV Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain. Further vessel specific training is required. A.2 Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Delegate Pre-requisites Attendance on this training course is open to delegates who have a valid OPITO Initial Training Shipboard Operations certificate or reassessment to an equivalent standard through OODTP, a valid OPITO ERRV Crew Fast Rescue Craft Boatman certificate and who have three months sea service as an FRC boatman. *Note: A current and valid Advanced Medical Aider may attend this course if they do not possess a valid ITSO certificate. However in this instance they have to have a current ERRV OODTP for Masters and Crew (OPITO Code 6190) A.3 Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training Physical and Stressful Demands All personnel who participate in practical activities specified in this standard must be capable of participating fully. OPITO-approved Centres are therefore required, as a minimum, to ensure that prior to participating in practical exercises the delegate or candidate provides written confirmation that they deem themselves capable of undertaking all aspects of the training or assessment. Centres must also make the delegate/candidate aware that they must immediately inform the Centre staff if this capability changes – at any time prior to, or during the programme. Delegates/candidates must be advised that they are required to declare any current or pre-existing medical conditions which may be exacerbated by, or impair their ability to complete, the training/assessment programme. Should this be the case, the individual may be required to provide an authentic medical certificate issued since any identified medical condition was diagnosed. The OPITO-approved Centre shall keep a record of the delegate’s/candidate’s declaration of fitness in accordance with their document control policy(s) or procedures. This information, along with summary details of the type of physical activities the delegate/candidate will be asked to perform, will be given to delegates/candidates by the OPITO-approved Centre and, if applicable, to their sponsoring company as part of the joining instructions. The responsibility for declaring any known current or pre-existing medical conditions that could have adverse effects to the individual’s state of health while undertaking the training and/or assessment activities lies with the delegate/candidate and/or company sponsoring the delegate. Revision 4 Amendment 1 (January 2020) 7
ERRV Crew Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training Standard Where doubt exists regarding the fitness of any delegate/candidate, the OPITO-approved Centre should direct the individual to consult a medical officer familiar with the nature and extent of the training. Note: Practical exercises should be designed and delivered solely to meet this standard, and must not place on the delegates any demands other than those required to meet the Standard. A.4 Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training Aim and Objectives The aim and objectives of the FRC Coxswain training programme are to equip the delegate with the initial knowledge, understanding and skills required to perform the role of ERRV Crew Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Note: Additional vessel specific training will be required.

Revision 4 Amendment 1 (January 2020) 9
ERRV Crew Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training Standard A.6 FRC Coxswain Training Delegate Performance Assessment Delegates will be assessed against the learning outcomes specified in section A.5 using direct observation and oral and/or written questions as appropriate. Assessment of delegates will be by continuous observation and evaluation. The purpose of continuous assessment is to ensure delegates are acquiring the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding of the FRC coxswain subject matter being covered. This will be achieved by direct observation of practical work and by questioning based on the learning outcomes in A.5. If required, further time and opportunity for coaching will be given to delegates to enable them to reach the standard leading to the award of a certificate. However, the time available for this during the programme is limited and it should be recognised there may be occasions where other arrangements need to be made. A.7 Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain Training Duration, Timing and Handout The optimum 'contact time' for this training is seen as 32 hours. It is suggested that a ratio of 40% theory to 60% practical is appropriate. The total contact time per day shall not exceed 8 hours. The total training day shall not exceed 10 hours (the total training day includes contact time, coffee and meal breaks and travel between training sites where applicable). *Contact time includes the delivery of the theoretical and practical training/assessment programme. **The total programme day includes the delegate enrolment and certification process, contact time, welfare breaks, meal breaks and where applicable, travel between sites. Delegates should be issued with course notes for Fast Rescue Craft Coxswain training when the course commences. These notes should be suitable for use as a reference manual during and following the course. The manual should be supported with supplementary information covering the following topics: Leadership Teamwork Facilitating Appraisal techniques Revision 4 Amendment 1 (January 2020) 10
