FAQ's about Oil and Gas UK medicals

Yes, OGUK Medicals are a mandatory requirement for individuals working offshore in the oil and gas industry. These assessments ensure workers meet the essential health and fitness standards needed to perform their duties safely in offshore environments.

An OGUK Medical assessment includes a comprehensive evaluation to determine an individual’s fitness to work offshore. The assessment typically involves a review of medical history, physical examination, blood pressure check, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) measurement, vision and hearing tests, Urinalysis (to screen for underlying health conditions) and any additional tests may be included depending on job requirements or specific conditions.

OGUK Medicals help maintain safety in offshore operations by ensuring that workers are physically and mentally fit to perform their roles in challenging and often hazardous environments. By identifying potential health risks, these assessments reduce the likelihood of medical emergencies offshore, protect worker wellbeing, and support overall operational safety.
