About OPITOTraining in action: real-life helideck safety scenarios
Here’s how HLO training prepares professionals to handle critical helideck situations:
-
Coordinating an Emergency Evacuation
In one scenario, an HLO managed an emergency evacuation when a helicopter faced mechanical issues during approach. Their quick decision-making, clear communication with the flight crew, and knowledge of emergency protocols ensured a safe landing and swift evacuation of passengers. -
Preventing a Fire During Refueling
Another HLO applied their helideck management training to identify a potential fuel leak during a refueling operation. By addressing the issue promptly, they prevented a possible fire incident.
These examples demonstrate the essential role of HLO training in maintaining safety during high-risk helideck operations.
