Shoulder Breadth Measurement Training

This Product is for any learner due to fly offshore by helicopter and are required to register their Shoulder Breadth Measurement before departure.

This Product covers the correct shoulder breadth measurement of a learner. 

This is accepted as the anatomical dimension which imposes the biggest limit on exiting through a restricted space – the deltoids are the shoulder muscles which the width is measured from. 

Learners with a shoulder width of equal to or more than 55.9cm (22”) will be classified as extra broad (XBR), while those with a shoulder width of 55.9cm or less will be classed as ‘regular’. At least 30% of seats on helicopter types are suitable for XBRs but this will vary from craft to craft.

No formal entry requirements, however learners will be required to wear a sleeveless top or regionally appropriate equivalent when being measured. It is important that the measurer can access your upper arm when they are taking measurements to ensure they make the measurement at the correct position. 

You can request a chaperone to be with you for the measurement if you prefer.

To complete the Shoulder Breath Measurement the mandatory unit must be achieved.
