Since March 2018, individuals undertaking the Emergency Breathing Systems (EBS) training as part of BOSIET are now required to complete a Fitness To Train (FTT) assessment. This assessment is crucial for identifying those with respiratory issues, cardiac conditions, or Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) disorders that may contraindicate in-water training. As part of the assessment process, candidates may be required to undergo the Chester Step Test or other evaluations typically provided by an occupational health service.
Absolute contraindications to EBS training include individuals with the following conditions: Spontaneous Pneumothorax and Cystic Fibrosis. Furthermore, patients with Asthma and COPD must complete spirometry tests and meet a minimum standard to proceed. If they do not pass, a referral for a hospital specialist opinion may be necessary. This applies to asthma and COPD patients who fail the spirometry minimum standard, as well as individuals with other lung or heart conditions that affect their ability to exercise. Additionally, those with ENT conditions advised to avoid immersion or diving should also seek evaluation. If you are looking for an OGUK medical near me or a renewables medical, consult with your local occupational health service for assistance.
