OGUK Medical
To work in the offshore environment, you must reach a certain standard of fitness.
Therefore, every offshore worker must undergo and pass an Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) Medical examination that ensures you are medically fit to work in the industry.
The OGUK medical certificate has to be renewed every two years, irrespective of the offshore worker’s age, and can be undertaken at the same time as the Emergency Breathing System (EBS) Fit to Train medical.
