Offshore (OEUK/OGUK) certification / Windfarm (GWO) certification.
Offshore (OEUK/OGUK) certification / Windfarm (GWO) certification.
Workers in the offshore environment need medical certification to confirm their medical fitness to work in remote and potentially hostile environment with a delay to medical care.
The offshore medical will cover the basic medical check and include:
Hearing assessment (Audiometry)
Lung assessment (Spirometry)
Visual capacity
IMPORTANT - Please don’t wear contact lenses for the medical and bring glasses if used
If successful, the OEUK certification will be produced then and last for 2 years. This is also accepted by the Norwegian sector.
The lung assessment will satisfy the requirements for offshore survival training and also the ‘Fitness to train’ certification if satisfactory.
For windfarm work, the medical would cover all required for the offshore medical but in addition ask for an assessment of aerobic fitness. This test is undertaken as a step test – The Chester Step Test is the standard test used. This also satisfies RUK/G41 standards.
Cost
OEUK medical £160
Fitness to train £40
(£20 if OGUK medical undertaken)
Chester Step test £40
GWO/Windfarm £200 (total)
Please note the Seafarers ( ENG1 ) medical is NO LONGER offered, and would need to be undertaken by a MCA-approved doctor – refer to the MCA website for details
