One way that Permit To Work can be effectively enforced is by providing training programs to employees.

Helideck

Helideck is a facility that is attached to the Deck of the ship that serves as a landing area for Helicopters.

Helideck must meet the following requirements:
- The resistance of the supporting structure must be really strong
- The Helideck must be able to withstand the load
- Strength in Helideck construction, after experiencing various loading conditions, must always be measured & known
- Maximum load & landing conditions must always be measured
- The Helideck structure on the ship must meet the safety factor

Some of the things above must be done & following applicable regulations so that the safety of the Helideck can always be maintained.

Another thing that must be done so that it is always safe at the Helideck is to have Offshore Emergency Helideck Team Members. They will be tasked with:
- Handling emergencies in Offshore Installations
- Handling hazards & incidents that occur on Helicopters
- Extinguishing the fire
- Rescuing & dealing with victims
- Using & providing necessary equipment (PPE, respirator, SCBA, hose & more)
- Refueling
- Handling dangerous goods
- Monitoring operations on Helideck

Emergency Breathing Systems (EBS)

Emergency Breathing Systems (EBS) can extend the time underwater so that escaping the Helicopter, which capsized as a result of the impact of uncontrolled water, can be well done.

Fact: The time it takes for passengers to escape from a submerged or overturned Helicopter is estimated to be between 45 to 60 seconds. If they are under cold water, of course, the time will be shorter, which is about 15 to 20 seconds. This means that we cannot hold our breath for too long & this is a dangerous thing.

Therefore, EBS is an important means of increasing our chances of survival when we sink underwater.

EBS can immediately activate the air so that the air exhaled into the funnel can be inhaled again for a longer time. There is also an EBS that can automatically remove water so that the breathing process can be carried out safely.

Best advice: EBS must be used before entering the water to prevent water from entering the funnel.

So that you can save yourself when traveling to & from Offshore Oil & Gas Installations in the warm tropical environment using a Helicopter & the Helicopter crashes into the river & sea, then the training to use EBS is the best advice.
