This Helideck Emergency Response Team Leader (HERTL) Training Program has been developed by an Industry Work Group comprising representatives from key oil and gas industry stakeholders, including regulatory bodies, trade associations, Operator/Duty Holder organisations, drilling organisations, contractor organisations, Aviation Operator, specialist assessment providers and approved Training Providers. 

Training and competence assessment of approved Helideck Emergency Response Team Leaders (HERTLs) will comprise onshore practical training and additional offshore workplace training and assessment. 

The complete Program has been developed and mapped out against OPITO standards and meets all competency and training requirements. It serves as an “equivalent industry standard” and an alternative means of compliance to effectively manage any offshore emergency.
