6. Dry evacuation, using a nominated exit, to an aviation life raft from a helicopter ditched on water (and, on instructions from the aircrew, operation of a push out window), assisting others where possible and carrying out initial actions on boarding the aviation life raft, to include: mooring lines, deploying the sea anchor, raising the canopy and raft maintenance

8. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a partially submerged helicopter (with operation of a push out window)
9. Escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (without operation of a push out window)
10. Inflation of an aviation lifejacket, deployment of a spray visor and boarding of an aviation life raft from the water
11. Deploying CA-EBS (above the water surface) and breathing from the CA-EBS in a pool, face down in shallow water (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)
12. Deploying CA-EBS (below the water surface, face down in a pool in shallow water) and clearing the
    mouthpiece by exhaling under the water surface (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the
    chest)
13. Deploying CA-EBS (below the water surface, face down in a pool in shallow water, using opposite
    hand to previous exercise) and clearing with purge button under the water surface (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)
14. Deploying CA-EBS (above water surface), in a pool and breathing from CA-EBS underwater in a
    vertical position (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)
15. Deploying CA-EBS (underwater), in a pool and breathing from CA-EBS underwater in a vertical
    position (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)
16. Deploying CA-EBS (underwater), in a pool, breathing from CA-EBS underwater, and moving along a horizontal rail for a period of no less than 30 seconds, including a change in direction (at a maximum depth of 0.7m, measured at the chest)

Sea Survival/Emergency First Aid Learning Outcomes:

1. Donning of a permanent buoyancy lifejacket prior to use in an emergency.
2. The correct actions when mustering and boarding a survival craft (TEMPSC) as a passenger during launching operations.
3. Fitting of a helicopter rescue device and correct body posture during winching.
4. Water entry (stepping off poolside, maximum height 1 meter) and the precautions to be taken when entering the water
5. Individual and group sea survival techniques, to include: swimming, getting into Heat Escape
   Lessening Position (HELP), wave-slap protection, towing, chain, huddle and circle.
6. Boarding a marine liferaft from the water.
7. Immediate first aid actions, including checking airways, breathing and industry recognised first aid practice

Fire Fighting and Self Rescue Learning Outcomes:

1. Correct use of hand held portable fire extinguishers and which ones to use for different classes of fires.
2. Self-rescue techniques with a smoke hood or partial blindfold from areas where delegate visibility is reduced.
3. Self-rescue techniques with a smoke hood or partial blindfold from areas where delegate visibility is completely obscured.
4. Small group escape techniques with a smoke hood or partial blindfold from areas where delegate visibility is completely obscured.

Physical / Health Demands:
Emergency response training contains physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All
personnel who participate in such training must be medically fit and capable of participating fully. All
personnel will be required to complete a self-declaration of fitness form prior to commencement of
practical.
