Senior Engineer, Contract Construction Representative for Trenchless Crossings on Strategic Pipeline Alliance project
Depends what you do. BOSIET is definitely required for Oil and gas sector because it includes helicopter survival. Oil and gas survey will sometimes accept GWO unless the Client's standard conditions exclude it, but both HUET and GWO may be dictated by the client. Oil and gas are rarely concerned with Working at Heights - there is no BOSIET equivalent. Local requirements apply. I had to do a local H2S course for the Danish Sector in 2019, I had a OPITO one from RoK which was accepted by the Client but not the Contractor. Marine crew are a different issue because they don't usually change by helicopter, with offshore rigs being the main exception. STCW is basically for marine crew, although I did do it at one time (local requirements again)

Question! I've had the surgery that allows me to resume my role worldwide. But I have to renew my safety certification first. Asking specifically the suppliers and the clients - which safety certificate is the one worth getting for ship-borne seabed survey? Of the three incredibly similar, but mutually exclusive, certs that are out there. What do the call-outs actually, really, require? Is there any tolerance in the call-outs for crossover at all? I'm not going to be collecting all three of them like badges. Four-fifths of each course is transferable to the other. The other fifth is unique but irrelevant to project crew on seabed survey - I've named them below. A) BOSIET (every four years) - helicopter crew change survival B) GWO (every two years) - working at height C) STCW-BST (every five years) - marine crew firefighting with BA #BOSIET #GWO #gwotraining #offshorewind #cables #HUET #offshorejobs
