Add to calendar_{*You will need to download the invite and then add to your calendar}

Overview

Module two in our ship sanitation series aims to de-mystify the common elements of potable water systems. Hidden away, largely in the engine room of a ship, the different types of water systems are often not particularly familiar to those carrying out ship inspections.

This training event will cover water systems that are typically found in most types of ships from cargo to cruise. Using practical examples, plans and photographs, we will explore how the various components work, typical issues that arise and the necessary international standards to be applied. 

Objectives

• Explore the various components of ship water systems and their purpose
• Discuss common issues that arise and risks to look out for
• Examine the role of international standards such as WHO's Handbook for Inspection of Ships and Issuance of Ship Sanitation Certificates
• 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

What past delegates thought

• “The whole course was incredibly useful. There were areas discussed that I have not previously looked at during inspections and I will make sure that I incorporate these areas for future inspections."
