Physical
During a US Coast Guard (USCG) physical examination, several key aspects of your health and fitness are thoroughly evaluated to ensure compliance with maritime safety standards. These assessments include:
- Vision and Hearing: Your visual acuity and color perception are assessed to ensure you have adequate vision for maritime tasks. Additionally, hearing tests are conducted to confirm your ability to perceive essential auditory signals.
- Cardiovascular Health: A thorough examination of your heart and circulatory system is performed to assess overall cardiovascular fitness. This may include checking blood pressure, pulse rate, and listening to your heart for any abnormalities.
- Respiratory Function: Your lung function may be evaluated to ensure proper respiratory health, especially important for tasks that require physical exertion or exposure to maritime environments.
- Musculoskeletal Fitness: Your musculoskeletal system is assessed to ensure you have the strength and mobility necessary to perform duties safely onboard a vessel. This may involve checking range of motion, muscle strength, and joint stability.
- General Health Assessment: A comprehensive review of your medical history and current health status is conducted to identify any pre-existing conditions or potential concerns that may affect your ability to perform maritime duties.
Overall, the USCG physical is designed to ensure that mariners are physically and medically fit to perform their duties safely and effectively while adhering to regulatory requirements.

Drug Testing
The US Coast Guard (USCG) drug test is a comprehensive screening process designed to ensure compliance with safety regulations and maintain a drug-free maritime environment. Our 5-panel drug test with Medical Review Officer (MRO) certification covers the following substances:
- Marijuana (THC): Screening for marijuana ensures compliance with federal regulations and helps maintain a clear-headed and alert workforce.
- Cocaine: Detection of cocaine usage is crucial for ensuring the safety of maritime operations, as it can impair judgment and reaction times.
- Opiates: Screening for opiates helps identify the use of substances such as heroin, morphine, and codeine, which can pose serious safety risks in a maritime environment.
- Amphetamines: Detection of amphetamines helps prevent the use of stimulants that can lead to hyperactivity, impaired judgment, and other dangerous behaviors.
- Phencyclidine (PCP): Screening for PCP helps ensure that individuals are not under the influence of this powerful hallucinogenic drug, which can impair perception and cognition.
Additionally, our drug testing process is overseen by a qualified Medical Review Officer (MRO) who verifies the accuracy of results and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. This certification adds an extra layer of reliability and professionalism to our drug testing services, giving you confidence in the integrity of the process.
