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:  

  1. Medical history review: Your past medical conditions and treatments are evaluated.
  2. Physical examination: General health checks including height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate.
  3. Respiratory lung function test: This assesses your lung capacity and function, which is crucial for working in confined or extreme environments.
  4. Audiometry (hearing test): Ensures that you have sufficient hearing to work safely offshore.
  5. Vision test: Evaluates your eyesight, including peripheral vision and colour blindness.
  6. 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.
