OEUK Medicals (Previously OGUK) – Offshore Fitness Certification
OEUK medicals (formerly known as OGUK medicals) are mandatory health assessments for anyone working offshore. These examinations confirm that personnel are medically fit to work in demanding environments, in line with Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) guidelines.
At OccDoc, our approved doctors provide these offshore fitness certifications in Cork, Ireland, ensuring workers meet the health standards required for employment in the oil, gas, and energy sectors.
Offshore roles often involve challenging physical and mental conditions, making these medicals essential for both personal safety and overall workforce wellbeing.
