• Revised Sea Survival Equipment List: Visuals of W2W systems, signal/alarm posters, discussion prompts
Refresher Training Updates •
All refresher training will be delivered in two phases. Firstly, the participants must complete skills stations to refresh the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for them to participate in the training scenarios. Upon successful completion of the skills stations, the participants will then complete the industry-relevant training scenarios • Added clarification to sections 5.5 Validity Periods, 5.7 Participant Prerequisites, and each module's refresher training section specifying that participants must possess a valid WINDA initial or refresher training record to attend refresher training. Section 6 also states that each module's Initial Training and Refresher Training sections must be delivered separately • Sea survival activities ‘righting a life raft’ and ‘evacuating CTV by entering water from height’ were changed to being performed by the participant (in both refresher and initial training)
• 20 minutes added to Sea Survival Initial Training Lesson 6: Practical Sea Survival
