What is an OGUK Medical?

Why is it Mandatory?

FAQ

The frequency of OGUK medicals depends on your role and the specific requirements of your employer. Generally, offshore workers are required to undergo medical assessments every two years. However, some positions may necessitate more frequent checks, especially those involving high-risk activities or individuals with certain medical conditions.

Yes, it's possible to pass an OGUK medical even with a pre-existing medical condition. The key is to disclose all relevant information to the medical professional conducting the assessment. They will evaluate your condition and determine if it poses any significant risk to your safety or the safety of others in the offshore environment. If necessary, they may recommend accommodations or restrictions to ensure that you can work safely.

When attending your OGUK medical appointment, it's important to bring the following:

  • Identification: A valid form of ID, such as a passport or driving licence.
  • Previous Medical Records: Any relevant medical records, including previous OGUK medical certificates, immunisation records, and information about any existing health conditions.
  • Medication List: A list of all medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
  • Glasses or Contact Lenses: If you wear corrective lenses, bring them to the appointment.

By being prepared with this information, you can help ensure a smooth and efficient assessment process.
