Abstract

Shipping companies were surveyed to evaluate the effect of public health measures during the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic of 2009 on ship and port operations. Of 31 companies that operated 960 cruise, cargo, and other ships, 32% experienced health-screening measures by port health authorities. Approximately a quarter of ports (26%) performed screening at embarkation and 77% of shipping companies changed procedures during the early stage of the pandemic.

Onboard Food and Sanitation Inspections on Aircraft

Hello

I am interested to learn if anyone has experience conducting environmental/public health inspections for food and sanitation onboard aircraft (at the gate, not during flight). If so, do you have domestic legislation outlining public health requirements? Do you inspect domestic as well as foreign carriers? If you have inspection guidelines, have you referenced the WHO Guide to Hygiene and Sanitation in Aviation, 3rd Edition?
