What is Offshore Medic?
Offshore medics work on fixed or mobile oil assets and support vessels, primarily looking after the crew’s health, safety, and welfare. Having an offshore medic on these vessels is a legal requirement
They also have other duties, such as health administration or health and safety at work.
Besides having thorough medical knowledge, offshore medics understand the limitations of resources, are aware of the hazards of their remote environments, and can adapt to them and their ever-changing and challenging environment.

Benefits of an Offshore Medic
In an offshore setting, employees face unique and usually hazardous conditions because of the harsh weather and limited medical facilities. We know first-hand the benefits of having qualified offshore medics in such instances. These benefits include:
Improved safety
Offshore workers face a range of hazards and risks. Having a trained medical professional on board helps improve safety and reduce the risk of injuries and accidents.
Rapid response to medical emergencies
In the event of a medical emergency, having an offshore medic ensures employees receive life-saving medical care. Besides providing medical care, offshore medics understand the shortcomings of the work environment and are trained to provide the best medical care even in challenging circumstances.
Enhanced medical care
Offshore medics are equipped to provide a range of medical services. They can offer first aid, emergency medical care, disease prevention, and control on the asset and other offshore work locations.
Duty of care
The duty of care on an oil asset extends to ensuring the safety and well-being of all personnel working in a challenging offshore environment. As part of this commitment, providing an offshore medic on the vessel is paramount. This proactive approach not only safeguards the health of the workforce but also aligns with industry standards and regulations for maintaining a secure and prepared working environment on the oil asset.
Compliance with industry standards
By law, many offshore installations must have a dedicated medical professional on board. Having an offshore medic on board can help to ensure compliance with these standards.
