From Oil Rigs to Offices: Tailored Occupational Health Solutions for Aberdeen’s Workforce

Aberdeen’s workforce is as diverse as its landscape – from offshore rigs to tech startups. That’s why occupational health solutions need to be flexible, responsive, and industry-specific. At Assured Occupational Health, we deliver services that meet the unique challenges of each work environment, ensuring employees stay fit, compliant, and capable – wherever the job takes them.

Meeting the Needs of a Multi-Sector City

Aberdeen has long been recognised as the energy capital of Europe, but its economic base is evolving. Today, the city is home not only to oil and gas professionals but also to a thriving life sciences sector, digital innovators, food production specialists, and a growing number of SMEs. Each of these sectors faces its own set of occupational health demands – from rigorous offshore fitness certifications to mental health support in high-pressure office environments. At Assured Occupational Health, we know that a one-size-fits-all approach is obsolete. Our tailored services are designed to reflect the real-world risks and regulations that affect different industries.

Offshore and Energy: Safety and Compliance First

For offshore workers, occupational health is about more than wellness – it’s a matter of safety and survival. We provide comprehensive medicals including OEUK (formerly UKOOA / OGUK) certifications, ERT (Emergency Response Team) assessments, and drug and alcohol testing tailored for remote and hazardous environments. With strict compliance standards and demanding physical requirements, workers in this sector need assurance that they’re medically fit for the challenges ahead. That’s what we deliver—clearly, efficiently, and reliably.

Onshore Industry and Logistics: Fit for Work, Fit for Duty

From warehouse operatives to HGV drivers, physical readiness and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. Our services include safety-critical medicals, audiometry, spirometry (lung function), Chester Step test and bespoke return-to-work assessments. We also help employers develop proactive health surveillance strategies that reduce absenteeism and support workforce resilience.

Office and Tech: Supporting the Modern Workplace

While the hazards in office environments may not be as immediately visible as on an oil platform, they are just as important. Stress, sedentary behaviour, eye strain, and ergonomic issues can all contribute to reduced performance and long-term health problems. Here at Assured Occupational Health we include various health assessments and workplace wellbeing programmes help ensure that staff are not only present but productive and protected.

SMEs and Startups: Scalable Solutions for Growing Teams

Smaller businesses often struggle to navigate occupational health requirements, especially when scaling up. We offer flexible packages and one-off services that give SMEs the confidence they need to stay compliant without breaking the bank. Whether it’s a pre-employment medical, vaccination programme, or guidance on sickness absence, we bring big-business standards to smaller teams.
