The Oil and Gas industry introduced in 2018 a medical assessment for the fitness for in‐water EBS training, otherwise known as a Fit to Train Medical. The Fit to Train Medical ensures that an individual risk assessment is carried out and identifies any medical conditions that may put one at risk of barotrauma.

The Fit to Train Medical will classify trainees as either ‘fit’ or ‘unfit’ for in‐water EBS training.
We shall provide documentary confirmation of fitness status, for employers and training providers.

This medical is usually undertaken at the same time with an OGUK Medical but may also be carried out on its own.

You should expect to:

Complete a specific questionnaire and clarify any answers
If you have a history of relevant medical condition(s), physical examination of the respiratory and/or ENT systems, and/or performance of lung function test.

This medical is usually undertaken at the same time with an OGUK Medical but may also be carried out on its own.

The expiry date on the Fit to Train medical certificate is 4 years, however individuals are advised to retake the assessment prior to their next refresher training should there be a change to their medical circumstance.

You will either be confirmed as:

Fit for in-water PSTASS EBS training
Temporarily unfit for PSTASS EBS training
Indefinitely unfit for in-water PSTASS EBS training

The appointment will take around 15 -30 minutes.
If required as an add-on to an OGUK medical please let us know when you book the appointment.

Yes, as long as the doctor can deem you fit, we will provide you with the certificate at the end of your appointment to take away with you.
