All Offshore medical examinations
Anyone wishing to travel or work offshore must undergo an offshore examination. At OmniHealth Amsterdam, you are welcome for every kind of offshore examination imaginable. We are flexible in making appointments, you can get in quickly and we have no waiting list. Do you need a seafarer medical as well? No problem, we make sure you will get all the certificates within one appointment. At OmniHealth, you will then pay for the most comprehensive medical, and the other documents will be provided to you at no additional cost.
Working offshore means working in a very different environment than “regular” work on land. An environment that is quit demanding for all involved. Work is often done in two-week rotations with 12 hours per day or night. Many of the functions offshore still require a great deal of lifting and heavy manual handling. Distances are large. Travel to and from the installation is therefore done by helicopter. And while some offshore installations have a fully equipped infirmary, it cannot be compared to the level in hospitals. All of these factors combined, mean that working offshore can be challenging.
Therefore, all persons working offshore must be periodically examined and found medically fit to work in the offshore environment. In Amsterdam, OmniHealth is the right place for your offshore medical. Our physicians are both NOGEPA and OEUK (formerly OGUK) certified and are therefore allowed to sign off on the safety logbook or “Personal Safety Logbook.” Important to mention, there are only 4 doctors in the Netherlands recognized as Petroleum doctor (licensed Norwegian offshore doctor). Our physician Sven Daam is among them. Of course, you can also come to OmniHealth for your Norwegian offshore examination. This medical examination is also called Helseerklæring.
What does the offshore examination consist of at OmniHealth?
height, weight, heart rates
and blood pressure
and color discrimination
ability
Exercise test
Validity of the offshore medical
The maximum validity of an offshore medical is 2 years. The requirements you must meet to receive a certificate without restrictions are outlined in NOGEPA Standard 11 “Offshore Medical Examination.” At the conclusion of your examination, the doctor will make a careful decision, weighing all applicable factors. These are not only the results of the various tests done, but as well, for example, your function. You will be informed of the results immediately and you will be given your certificate right away. Do you unexpectedly disagree with the results? Even then, we will help you on your way to reach a possible solution together.
Offshore medical ERT

Exercisetest
The chesterstep test is a practical test that provides a clear picture of your fitness level.

In this test, you step to the rhythm of a metronome on a step bench, of which the height is set to your age. Each 2 minutes, your heart rate is measured and the stepping rate goes up. This is repeated several times. Anyone who has a duty within the emergency response team must undergo this exercise test, as well as anyone working in the offshore wind sector. It is important to note that if the doctor has doubts about physical capacity, for example, if your BMI is over 30, the doctor may decide that you must take this test, even if you do not hold a position within the ERT!

Shouldermeasurement
All passengers traveling offshore by helicopter must be seated in a seat whose nearest emergency exit is compatible with their height and more specifically their shoulder width.

In very practical terms, each passenger must fit through the nearest emergency exit. This is measured by shoulder width. Passengers with a shoulder width of 55.9 cm or more are classified as extra wide (XBR). Passengers with a shoulder width of less than 55.9 cm are classified as “regular”. All XBR passengers must be re-measured regularly. For example, during the medical examination At OmniHealth, doctors are licensed to do this shoulder measurement. And if we perform a shoulder measurement as part of your examination, we will not charge anything for it. That’s service!

Emergency Response Team
All who work offshore and members of the Emergency Response Team must have excellent fitness.

After all, in an urgent situation, they must be able to intervene immediately, perform actions and help others in the event of an evacuation. Therefore, this group should be comprehensively inspected using an offshore ERT (Emergency Response Team) medical examination. The examinations themselves are almost similar in content to standard offshore examinations. However, the requirements an employee must meet are more stringent. Some examples of these more stringent requirements include vision and lung function. In addition, there are fitness requirements. Using a chesterstep test, the examining physician gets a good impression of endurance and physical capacities.

Fit to train
Before you can participate in the BOSIET, FOET or HUET course, you must have a “Fit to Train” certificate.
