The certificate depends on where you work and who you work for, not on your job title. Here is the short route to the right one.
The workplace and the operator decide the certificate. Two people with the same job title can need different certificates if they work on different shelves.
| If you are working... | You need | Price |
|---|---|---|
| on the UK continental shelf | OEUK Medical | DKK 1,580 |
| on the Norwegian shelf | Norwegian Health Certificate | DKK 1,580 |
| in or on wind turbines | Wind Medical (EI 3583) | DKK 1,875 |
| in turbines, with a fitness requirement | GWO Wind OEUK with Chester Step Test | DKK 2,330 |
| on board a Danish vessel | Seafarer medical certificate (STCW) | DKK 1,035 |
| in Swedish masts above 13 m | Mast & Pole Certificate | DKK 3,125 |
| on the offshore emergency team | ERT certificate | DKK 1,562.50 |
Some companies set requirements beyond the industry standard. Their certificate comes on top of the ordinary one, it does not replace it. You will often need both.
Own protocol, more extensive than the Wind Medical (EI 3583). DKK 4,688.
Company-specific certificate to INEOS requirements. DKK 1,651.25.
For postings to Malaysia. Includes X-ray, ECG and blood tests. DKK 8,847.50.
If a company name appears in your mobilisation letter, bring the letter or read it out when you book.
If you work across sectors, it is common to hold two or three valid certificates at once. They can be taken in one visit, so you only travel to Esbjerg once.

Not always. According to the County Governor of Rogaland, a British health certificate (OEUK) is also accepted for offshore work in Norway. But each operator can have its own requirements, so ask your employer which certificate they want.
No, it comes on top. Most people need both the industry certificate and the company's own.
It is stated in the contract or mobilisation letter. If in doubt, your contact at the operator or staffing agency can answer it.
Yes, and we recommend it while you are here. Mention it when booking so we set aside enough time.
Same certificate, new name. Here is the difference.
