What is an ERT medical?

If you are part of the Emergency Response Team on an installation, you must be able to wear breathing apparatus and work in smoke and heat. The role is known as smoke diver, and in Danish as røgdykker. That places higher demands on heart, lungs and fitness than an ordinary offshore medical.

The certificate is an addition to your OEUK Medical, not a replacement. You need a valid OEUK Medical first, and the two can be taken in one visit.

Frequently asked questions

Is it called røykdykkersertifikat in Norwegian?

Smoke diver is røykdykker in Norwegian, and you will see the certificate referred to as røykdykkersertifikat. For work on the Norwegian shelf you are subject to the Norwegian health requirements. That does not necessarily mean a Norwegian health certificate. The County Governor of Rogaland states that British and Dutch health certificates are accepted for offshore work in Norway. Call +45 70 60 33 38 if you are unsure what your operator requires.

Do I need the OEUK Medical first?

Yes. The ERT certificate is an addition and cannot stand alone. If you do not hold a valid OEUK Medical, we carry out both in one visit.

What does it cost together with the OEUK?

The OEUK Medical is DKK 1,580 and the ERT certificate DKK 1,562.50, both incl. VAT. Mention at booking that you need both so we set aside enough time.

Are the requirements stricter than an ordinary medical?

Yes, particularly for heart, lungs and fitness, because working with breathing apparatus is physically demanding and done under time pressure.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. Enter the company name and any PO number when booking, and we will send the invoice directly to the company.
