Many offshore professionals still refer to the “OGUK medical,” but the certification has transitioned to Offshore Energies UK (OEUK). The change reflects the industry’s broader focus beyond oil and gas to include renewable offshore energy.
Importantly, the medical standards remain aligned with offshore safety requirements. If you previously held an OGUK certificate, you now require an OEUK medical certificate for continued offshore work.
For offshore workers in Cape Town and across South Africa, obtaining certification from an OEUK approved doctor ensures compliance with international offshore deployment standards.
