Health & Safety Report 2018
Oil & Gas UK also hosts an annual Examining Doctors Conference to bring together registered doctors from across the world, providing them with essential updates and networking opportunities. Almost 100 doctors from across four continents attended the 2017 conference. Each year, the registered doctors carry out medical assessments of offshore oil and gas employees around the globe using the Oil & Gas UK Medical Aspects of Fitness for Offshore Work: Guidance for Examining Physicians . 6 The doctors are asked to submit a statistical return, indicating the total number of medicals they have performed and the numbers of cases in which individuals have failed to pass their assessments. The number of medicals performed in 2017 returned to levels seen through 2013-2015.
