Water is essential for your body to function. It helps flush toxins, regulate body temperature, lubricate the joints, digestion, and keep organs functioning properly. It can also benefit weight loss combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine.

 

In this course, we will discuss the link between water consumption and weight loss and explain whether drinking more water can help you shed unwanted pounds.

One of the most critical units in the electric supply system for the boat is the switch panel or switchboard. The switch panel is where most electric and electronic units are switched on or off, most fuses are found, and most cables are connected. The safest place to connect new electronic equipment is either directly in the switch panel or to one of the existing cables from the panel. In many relatively new boats, wires and cables have been installed by the manufacturer or yard. However, even if the installation is brand new, there are still many wires and cables behind the front panel, and often you will find a PC board where the wires are connected. After the course, you can safely connect plotters, radar, and instruments. You will also learn about relay control and how you can control more powerful equipment like autopilots. You will learn to select a suitable cable for that specific piece of equipment and know which factors you need to consider before choosing the correct wire.

Innhold

CA-EBS holdes i samsvar med OPITO standard kurskode 5902, og inneholder teoretisk gjennomgang av komprimert luft som nødpustesystem, samt praktisk bruk.

Herunder kommer forskjellen mellom komprimert luft og nødpustesystemet som brukes på norsk sektor, fordeler og ulemper, faremomenter, utstyret som brukes og kontroll av utstyret.

Praktiske øvelser innebærer kontroll av utstyret før bruk, påkledning og tilpasning av systemet og utløsning og bruk av nødpustesystemet. Alle praktiske øveler gjennomføres i klasserommet. 

Skulderbredden måles av sertifisert personell i henhold til retningslinjer gitt av The passenger size working group, The helicopter safety steering group og Step Change in Safety.

Etter at deltaker er målt, blir vedkommende kategorisert i en av to kategorier – Non Extra Broad (ikke ekstra bredskuldret) eller Extra Broad (ekstra bredskuldret).

Er man ikke ekstra bredskuldret kan man sitte der man ønsker i helikopteret, mens de som blir kategorisert som ekstra bredskuldret får designerte plasser i helikopteret, da med store vinduer som nødutgang.

Skulderbredden måles på bar hud, så deltaker må ha på seg t-skjorte/singlet for selve målingen.

The course covers the following topics:

- Agreement on Inclusive Working Conditions
- Working environment and prevention
- Absence

At the beginning of the course you can take a pre-test, where you get the opportunity to show your skills. If you pass the pre-test, you do not have to go through the entire course.

Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.
