What Does OGUK Stand For?
OGUK stands for Oil and Gas United Kingdom. The OGUK medical examination - previously known as the UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) medical - is a specialised assessment required for offshore workers in the oil and gas industry.
What Happens in an Offshore Medical Exam?
During the OGUK medical examination, our experienced travel doctors perform a thorough examination of your health including the following:
- Medical history review: Your past medical conditions and treatments are evaluated.
- Physical examination: General health checks including height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate.
- Respiratory lung function test: This assesses your lung capacity and function, which is crucial for working in confined or extreme environments.
- Audiometry (hearing test): Ensures that you have sufficient hearing to work safely offshore.
- Vision test: Evaluates your eyesight, including peripheral vision and colour blindness.
- Urine drug screening: Some companies may require additional tests for drugs and alcohol depending on company policy.
After completing the medical examination, an OGUK-accredited certificate is issued, which is typically valid for two years.
