Overview
Vector surveillance and control is a critical function in protecting public health on board ships and at ports. Understanding good vector management, the types of disease-causing vectors and the legal standards surrounding them, is an important aspect of ship sanitation inspection and IHR requirements at ports.
Module five in our ship inspection series provides practical advice about vector management and control, including common issues, documentation to check, and international standards.
Objectives
- Understand the purpose and key aspects of vector management, surveillance and control on board ships and at ports
- Highlight common issues that arise and risks to look out for
- Explain the role of international standards, such as:
- WHO’s Handbook for Inspection of Ships and Issuance of Ship Sanitation Certificates
- WHO’s manual for Vector surveillance and control at ports, airports, and ground crossings
- Increase your confidence when investigating such systems to verify their correct operation
Who should attend
- Port Health/Environmental Health Officers
- Authorised officers engaged in ship inspection
