What is a Norwegian health certificate?

The health certificate is the Norwegian medical certificate for work on the Norwegian continental shelf. Without a valid certificate you will not board, and it is checked at mobilisation.

It can only be issued by a petroleum doctor, in Norwegian petroleumslege, approved by the County Governor of Rogaland. Helle Wibe is an approved petroleum doctor, so you can get the certificate in Esbjerg instead of travelling to Norway.

You will see the certificate called several things: helseattest, helseerklæring and offshore helseattest. It is the same certificate.
