Working offshore? Changes to OEUK weight requirements come into effect on 01 November 2026.
The maximum permitted weight will be 124kg, measured wearing clothing and footwear.
🦺 Workers weighing over 124kg will not be eligible for an OEUK medical certificate for UK offshore work or permitted to mobilise offshore, even with an existing in-date certificate.
🦺 Workers weighing between 115kg and 124kg will receive reduced-duration certificates, with further weight checks required before certification can be extended.
If you’re due an offshore medical or have questions about how the requirements affect you or your workforce, contact the Alert Health team.
