It depends on what you will do onboard.
1. Basic Safety Training (BST) – The STCW Code requires that you take this 5-day course of instruction. BST is actually 4 courses – Basic Firefighting, Personal Survival, Personal Safety and Social Responsibility, and Elementary First Aid. This course has to be renewed every 5 years, or under certain conditions, you have to show that you have at least 1 year of service on board vessels of 200 grt or more within the last 5 years..
2. Bridge Resource Management (BRM) – This is also called Bridge Teamwork Management. Normally a three day course of instruction.
3. Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats (PSC) – This course is only required of deck officers who do not have an AB – Unlimited, AB- Limited, AB-Special (AB-OSV will not do it!), or Lifeboatman endorsement on their Z-card. The requirement is really for Lifeboatman, but this endorsement is embedded in all of the AB’s except AB – OSV.

As you can see your question has generated some confusion. There are people who work in ships with regulations dictated by the company and flag of registry. However the 'Offshore Industry' is normally considered to be on Oil and Gas Platforms where people 'commute' to and from work.
In O&G the basic requirement internationally is "HUET". Helicopter Underwater Escape Training, is uniform in the HUE portion but may or may not also include additional training inclusive of basic first-aid and firefighting.
