Emergency Breathing System at Helicopter Underwater Escape




The time it takes for passengers to escape from a submerged / inverted Helicopter underwater is around 45 – 60 seconds. Of course this cannot be done by humans because we can only hold our breath for 20 seconds. Yes, our ability to hold our #breath is limited. To extend our time underwater & increase our chances of survival, we need an Emergency Breathing System (EBS). EBS will be carried when personnel #travel by Helicopter to a warm Offshore Oil & Gas Installation located in a tropical #environment. EBS will assist personnel to escape from Helicopters & water (sea) when an emergency occurs offshore. The EBS will give them the ability to extend their time underwater so they can escape from the Helicopter that is inverted as a result of an uncontrolled water impact.

While traveling to & from Offshore Oil & Gas Installations in #tropical environments by Helicopter, the personnel must also have the ability to:
- Gain knowledge about various things that will happen while in the Helicopter (check-in, boarding, in-flight, landing & more)
- Know about Helicopter Safety Requirements
- Know about the dangers that will be faced while on the Helicopter
- Use safety equipment
- Respond to an emergency that occurs in the Helicopter
- Follow the procedures to do when an #emergency occurs on the Helicopter
- #Escape from Helicopter when #Helicopter is on water surface & #underwater
- Survive in the #sea using EBS
