Hi guys. Was curious about how the medicals go during the recruitment process in top multinational oil and gas coys and what they actually look out for. Thanx ppl.

Hav u bin firing without overall?

@ gunpoint; Did u read the topic properly?

Gunpoint is right!

Have you been kicking without your booths?

@ Dereformer; the question has already been asked. What is expected are answers, opinions and heads-on information, not more questions. It may help if u read the topic again and again for better understanding of what is being asked.

Have you been welding witout googles?

Basically u just appear for the test. Your blood, urine sample will be taken. These will be screened as per finding out if u have any communicable disease,hiv and the others. U will undergo chest xray scan, lung test and eye test. All these are just to check if u r medically fit to work. Like the others said u need not worry if u have been using ur ppe not just for the fear of hiv but also for hepatitis and other disease that may constitute any occupational hazard to other people u might have to work with. U will also have to do tuberculosis test.

@ efe2luv; thanks for that piece. I think this topic is one that isn't usually discussed and would help to give an insight on the subject matter to folks who don't know about such requirements from coys other than their educational/professional qualifications and work experience. However, aside the areas of communicable diseases, what is the tolerance level on the area of alcohol and drug? Is there an accepted level of alcohol that can be in ones system or is it on a non-tolerance platform? What kind of drugs detected in ones system could pose a threat to his/her being employed by these multinationals?

Drug n alchohol test is conducted for employees only as far as i know. I believe alchohol may be tolerated but hard drugs like igbo(marijuana) and d like is zero tolerance. Random drug n alchohol test is conducted for empoyees periodically depends on d coy policy. For offshore locations it os zero tolerance to drug n alchohol n its a sackable offence. So its bettr u dont take drugs but alchol is ok. It takes over a month or two for marijuana to be cleared from ur system in other not to be detected in ur blood.

how long does it take to call for resumption after medicals.
