• Be aware of the principles of hygiene and communicable disease prevention and control on ships as required in the European Union legislation, as well as in the international standards. • Identify the differences of the European inspection programme and other programmes implemented in non-EU countries. • Apply methods for supervising corrective actions implemented in response to non-conformities. • Develop inter-department cooperation for implementing ship health and hygiene management plans and other specific written plans. • Develop plans for ensuring that risks have been identified, control measures are implemented by trained staff, and monitoring and corrective actions are in place. • Apply health and hygiene training principles for crew member training on the ship. |
| Course methodology: | The lessons will be a combination of pre-recorded lectures, focused on application of skills, exercises, case studies and self-study of the various topics. Trainees are given plenty of time to practice hands-on skills, as these will be utilized in the exercises.
The training approach of the course consists of: • Pre-recorded lectures – instruction and theory on the subject matter (on-line asynchronous session) • Assignments including case studies – use of scenarios to exercise problem solving (on-line asynchronous session) • Live Questions & Answers scheduled session at a pre-defined time– updating skills and knowledge (on-line synchronous session) • Resources in the form of support documentation will be sent in an electronic format
Participants will receive specific daily access to the on-line pre-recorded lectures, the on-line assignments and tests throughout the week. The on-line pre-recorded lectures and on-line assignments of each session have to be completed within two days after receiving access and before the live session. To receive access to the following session all components of the previous session have to be completed. The three live Q&A sessions (duration: 90 minutes) will be scheduled at a time that will be announced in advance and their aim will be to review the assignments, answer questions and discuss with the course instructors.
