Introduction
This Guide recommends a preventative approach to public health protection. A preventative approach requires more than merely responding to outbreaks and occasionally testing endproduct materials. Proactive health protection needs to be promoted though rigorous inspection and audit of the preventative control measures to check that they adequate and that they are functioning as intended. This chapter describes activities that port health officers should consider auditing to promote preventative public health protection and to maintain adequate standards and reputation.
The ship’s master or their representative must ensure the identification of health risks and the control of these risks. The role of the port health officer is to audit the systems put in place by the ship’s master, to verify the practical implementation of these systems, and to provide advice and assistance in improving these systems.
An inspection provides a snapshot of the ship’s operations and of how systems are implemented and maintained. The officer should examine and verify a sample of the risk assessment, the control measures and any associated monitoring. Port health officers should seek to identify risks arising from the activities on ships and the effectiveness of the ship’s own assessment of risks and control. Both the quality of any plans and the extent of implementation need to be assessed.
