The assessment of an individuals fitness to travel and work offshore involves making an assessment of the risk which may be posed either to themselves or to others by any underlying medical condition(s) which they may have.
In order to be fit to travel and to work offshore an individual must:
Be able to carry out their normal assigned duties without compromise to the safety of themselves or others
Be able to escape from the platform or helicopter in event of an emergency
Be able to escape from the platform or helicopter in event of an emergency
Be able to take part in offshore survival training
Pose no significant risk to the safety or health of others on the installation by virtue of any underlying medical condition
Require no ongoing medical treatment which cannot be effectively delivered in the offshore environment
Require no medical treatment which has significant side effects incompatible with offshore work
Have no significant liability to sudden illness requiring medical intervention which cannot be delivered in the offshore environment
Every person must be examined prior to employment offshore and thereafter at 2-yearly intervals. The examining physician should consider increasing the frequency of periodic assessments where the individual has a condition which may significantly alter during such a timeframe. In such circumstances, certificates of shorter duration than 2 years should be issued.
