Helideck Emergency Response Team Leader (HERTL)

Description

The Helideck Emergency Response Team Leader's (HERTL's) training and competency evaluation programs introduce a combined approach of onshore and offshore workplace training and evaluation. In that case, onshore training in emergency response procedures, communication, leadership, and decision-making gives participants theoretical and practical skills.


This will enable them to undertake their future offshore workplace training and assessment as they implement what they learn in live situations to ensure readiness in offshore emergency responses’ coordination. A large-scale preparation program that encompasses both onshore as well as offshore segments guarantees that the HERTLs can manage emergency situations at helidecks; thereby improving safety rules and ensuring protection of people’s lives as well as property.
