Overview
In module one of our ship sanitation series, we will discuss the aims and provisions of the International Health Regulations (IHR), in relation to ship inspections and points of entry. We will cover the key legal provisions of IHR, charging mechanisms, and practical aspects of planning inspections – before boarding, on-board and after disembarkation.
This training event is recommended for those who are relatively new to ship inspection or looking for an overview of the application of IHR.
