Occupational health services for the offshore
industry
The UK offshore industry employs more than 20,000 people who are
exposed to a range of health risks.
Working in the offshore industry can involve exposure to
hazardous substances, radiation, noise, vibration, extremes of
temperature and ergonomic hazards. All have the potential to harm
the health of workers, immediately or in later life.
We work with you to prevent ill health arising out of conditions
at work by identifying, assessing and controlling health risks.
With more than 40 years experience, we know the environmental,
operational and social factors that can affect an offshore worker's
health.

medical requirements. We have technicians, occupational health
nurses, occupational health physicians, offshore medics, and
