• Pre-ditching procedures and landing considerations
• Compressed air physics/physiology, procedures for use, and risks
• Full disorientation underwater escape METS® (Modular Egress Training Simulator)
• Surface evacuation info liferaft, including survival pattern
• Survival pattern - protection, first-Aid, signals, endurance

DURATION

Seven (7) Hours | 1.0 Day(s)

LOCATION

Groton Training Center, Groton, CT—temperature-controlled indoor training environment.

PREREQUISITES

Participants are expected to be in a good state of health and physically capable of fully taking part in all course activities. Participants are subjected to rigorous physical activity. Depending on the program, this may include swimming, underwater disorientation, righting and/or climbing into a life raft, exposure to cold water, vertical climbing, and jumping from a height into water, along with the risks of compressed air use. Participants must be medically cleared to participate.

SCHEDULING

Book training calendar seats on a first-come, first-served basis—select the training date(s) of choice.

ADMINISTRATION

Participants will be required to show valid government I.D. and complete a Student Registration Form which incorporates an acknowledgment of risk, statement of health, and general liability release for training. Participants using compressed air must review the Compressed Air Contraindications form and get a signed Medical Clearance if they determine that their specific medical history requires it. The signed Medical Clearance form must be brought to training by the participant.

CERTIFICATION

Participants who complete the full program in accordance with the learning and performance objectives receive a Survival Systems USA course completion certificate, and a completion certificate will be provided to their employer. 

AGE REQUIREMENTS

Participants must be a minimum of 18 years of age for full participation and certification. Participants under 18 require parental consent and are welcome to participate in the classroom and other non-compressed air exercises, excluding the underwater METS® runs. Participants under the age of 12 may audit the course under the direct supervision of a guardian not involved in training.

Testimonials

"Water survival training is critical for Vineyard Wind's workforce. Our team is prepared for all aspects of a water emergency thanks to Survival Systems USA in Groton, CT." - Vineyard Wind

“Very effective and fast-paced course covering the essentials needed for HUET for offshore wind” - Lucas, Installation Engineer

"I would like to capture several of the points that, in my mind, set apart Survival Systems USA HUET training from other providers. First, the quality of the trainers, both for the classroom portion and the practical course elements. Even though it has been more than ten years since I attended the offshore survival training course at your facility, I distinctly recall that the presenters during the classroom phase were well-versed in the material and didn't merely read the projected slides...they actually taught and presented relevant material beyond the slide information. Second, the METS® training was very realistic.  In addition to going through a wide variety of realistic ditching scenarios, the in-water instructors helped trainees with technique and other situational challenges. With the increase in offshore activity on the east coast associated with large-scale wind farm development and operation, the need for offshore workers to receive high-quality training will substantially increase in the near future." - John Roth
