USPH Doc. / Infos / Manuals
Every maritime specialist recognizes the abbreviation "USPH" (United States Public Health) and understands the level of work, know-how and sense of responsibility on the part of the employees on board necessary, in order to reach and maintain the current requirements of USPH standard. We have a wealth of experience in the area of hygiene and especially USPH. Our specialist member of staff has regularly attained evaluation scores between 98 and the maximum 100 on several ships – and not only on new ships, but also on cruise ships more than 30 years old. This is a result of his specialist knowledge of the rules and regulations in different ports around the world: knowledge acquired both through personal acquaintance with various inspectors and his understanding of the major issues they consider during their inspections. This enabled him to develop a continuous on-board training program. The following countries currently implement the American Public Health standard: USACanada
Australia
United Kingdom
Brazil These kinds of inspections must be expected in every country worldwide. The authorities have the right to make such inspections and do so at will. *********************************************************************************** Download (see LINKS) of the current legal framework; Answering specific questions;

Routine Inspections Surveillance and Outbreak Investigation Consultation Services Training Seminars Public Information For more information The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started the Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) in the early 1970s because of several disease outbreaks on cruise ships. VSP was established to protect the health of passengers and crew by minimizing the risk of gastrointestinal illness on cruise ships. The program assists the cruise ship industry to develop and implement comprehensive sanitation programs. VSP accomplishes its mission through sanitation inspections, disease surveillance and investigations, review of construction plans for new ships, and onsite inspections of new ship construction and renovation. VSP also trains cruise ship employees in proper public health techniques including food handling and preparation, potable water system management, and pool and spa operation and maintenance. ROUTINE INSPECTIONS VSP staff inspect cruise ships with a foreign itinerary that call on Inspections are based on the Vessel Sanitation Program Operations Manual 2000 (http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/manual/VSP%20Operations%20Manual%202000.pdf). Some of the inspection criteria include the following: Water supply—storage, distribution, protection, and disinfection Spas and pools—filtration and disinfection Food—protection during storage, preparation, and service Employee hygiene practices General cleanliness and physical condition of the ship—cleanliness and absence of insects and rodents Training programs—environmental and public health practices Inspections are scored on a point system of 100. Cruise ships earn a score based on the criteria listed above. Ships that score an 86 or higher have a satisfactory sanitation level; ships that score an 85 or lower have an unsatisfactory sanitation level and will be reinspected, usually within 30-45 days to determine if conditions have improved. In general, the lower the score, the lower the level of sanitation; however, a low score does not necessarily imply an imminent risk for gastrointestinal illness. Since the program began, the number of disease outbreaks on ships has declined even though the number of ships sailing and the number of passengers carried has increased significantly. Inspection scores and reports are published on the VSP Web site http://www2a.cdc.gov/nceh/VSPIRS/vspmain.asp. In addition, a compiled list of ship inspection scores are published every month in the “green sheet” at http://www2a.cdc.gov/nceh/VSPIRS/VspRptGreenSheet.asp. This sheet is distributed to more than 3,000 travel-related services around the world. SURVEILLANCE AND OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION VSP provides assistance to cruise ships when the number of ill passengers or crew members has reached 2% or greater of the total number of passengers or crew members or when an unusual GI pattern or characteristic is found. Cruise ships are required to log and report the number of passengers and crew members who have reported GI illness symptoms. Additionally, vessels are required to keep a list of all passengers and crew members who have requested antidiarrheal medication. VSP staff reviews this information to do the following: 1. Determine the magnitude and distribution of GI illnesses among passengers and crew 2. Assist in the assessment of sanitation practices, identify infectious agents, and determine prevention and control strategies 3. Evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and control strategies 4. Provide lab support to confirm the cause of the illness By determining the cause of an outbreak, CDC officials can help devise effective intervention strategies to prevent a recurrence of the outbreak. CONSULTATION ON NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION Cruise ship owners or shipyards that build or renovate cruise ships may request a plan review and an on-site construction inspection of new or remodeled vessels before their first or next operational inspection. This consultation helps ship builders construct or renovate the ship according to public health guidelines. Plan reviews and construction inspections are based on VSP Construction Guidelines (http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/pub/Construction%20manual-August%202001.pdf). Inspected items include food storage, preparation, and service and water bunkering, storage, disinfection, and distribution. Plan reviews and construction inspections result in increased handwashing, maintaining proper food temperatures, and protection of potable water. TRAINING AND SEMINARS Since 1989, VSP has offered sanitation seminars to cruise ship employees. Training sessions are offered six times per year in The training sessions explain recommended standards, emphasize the reasons for the standards, and discuss how to comply with the standards. Specifically, cruise ship employees examine water storage, distribution, protection and disinfection; food protection during storage, preparation, cooking, and service; employee practices and personal hygiene; to general cleanliness, facility repair, and vector control; and potential for contamination of food and water. These seminars facilitate communication between government regulators and cruise ship employees. PUBLIC INFORMATION VSP responds to requests for information from state and local agencies, health professionals, international agencies and governments, and the general public. VSP also maintains a Web site.
