HSE COMMERCIAL DIVING MEDICALS
£210
The HSE medical is required for any diver who is at work in UK waters. The Diving at Work Regulations 1997 stipulate that all working divers must have a valid certificate of fitness to dive issued by an Approved Medical Examiner of Divers (AMED).
​
Dr Oli has been an AMED since 2006 and conducts several hundred HSE medical examinations per year. The assessment process is systematic and designed to ensure that a diver is medically and physically fit to undertake their work.
​
The medical includes:
​
-
a discussion focussed on the work diving and past medical history of the candidate
-
a full physical examination, including BMI and waist circumference
-
spirometry (lung function test)
-
audiometry (hearing test)
-
exercise capacity testing (via the Chester Step Test)
-
urinalysis (a urine sample will be required)
-
selected additional tests, such as full blood count or ECG, if clinically indicated
​
For divers requiring a standalone Chester Step Test before mobilisation, these can now be booked online here, for £75.
