OGUK PHYSICALS
OGUK Physicals
Basic OGUK offshore physical
The Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) physical sets a standard of fitness to be reached by anyone working in the industry here. That standard applies to the UK first and foremost but is being increasingly accepted as a worldwide indicator of health and fitness for anyone working in the oil and gas industry. Just recently, the Norwegian oil & gas industry (in the North Sea) has started accepting the OGUK certification.
Safety is the number one priority for the oil & gas industry. And the examination plays a part in that. It gives protection to the individuals receiving certification and – by extension – reduces risk for their fellow offshore team members who often rely on them to carry out their job properly.
With 2 full-service occupational medicine clinics in the Houston and Dickinson, TX communities, our team of specialists is proud to carry out OGUK physicals. Work on an offshore oil drilling rig or drilling platform can be demanding on the body with constant movement and tough working conditions. If you need to update your OGUK certification or if your company requires any other type of specialty physicals, please feel free to schedule an appointment
with one of our licensed, OGUK-qualified physicians!
