Offshore Medical Certificate

Before a person is allowed to stay more than 24 hours on offshore platforms of the "Oil & Gas UK Group" OGUK (former UKOOA)  this person needs to undergo a safety training and a medical check-up.

Only doctors certified by Oil & Gas UK are allowed to sign the Offshore Medical document. See the list of certified doctors:
