Whether you’re heading to a platform, rig, or vessel, our assessments ensure you’re medically cleared and fit for duty.
This package is suitable for:
Offshore oil and gas workers
Renewable energy technicians (including wind turbine techs)
Contractors needing OEUK and aerobic capacity clearance
What’s Included?
OEUK Medical Assessment:
✔ Medical history & physical examination
✔ Vision & hearing test
✔ Urinalysis
✔ BMI, pulse, and blood pressure check
✔ Same-day OEUK Medical Certificate (valid for 2 years)
Chester Step Test (Aerobic Fitness):
✔ 10-minute step test assessing cardiovascular endurance
✔ Required for climbing-intensive roles (e.g. turbines/platform stairs)
✔ Monitored heart rate intervals
✔ Same-day Chester Step Certificate
✅Ensure that you have not eaten, smoked, exercise or drunk tea or coffee for at least 2
hours before the fitness test.
✅Ensure that you are not recovering from illness or have a cold or are taking beta-blocker
drugs which will depress heart rate scores or influence test performance.
✅Ensure that you are wearing loose-fitting and comfortable clothing.
✅Ensure that no heavy physical exercise is done for at least 24hrs before the fitness test.
The actual Chester Step Test Examination should last a maximum of 10 minutes but most of the time the test is concluded between 6-8 minutes as during that time there will be either be difficulty in talking in sentences or the patient would’ve reached 80% of their maximum Heart Rate. The overall appointment should last 15 minutes.
Yes, you would be given a physical certificate on the same day before you leave the clinic.
The Chester Step Test Certificate is valid for 12 months for OEUK and 24 months for GWO RUK Medicals.
