FOOD SAFETY

FOOD SAFETY is one of the topics in the Seafarers' Health Information Programme, sponsored by the ITF Seafarers' Trust. Many aspects of food handling are different onboard a ship. It is important that an individual seafarer receives information on important aspects of food handling onboard.

The main target group for this campaign is the "average" seafarer, who is not necessarily professionally concerned with food onboard, but as a consumer and colleague takes an interest in the way food is currently handled onboard ship.

FIT ONBOARD

FIT ONBOARD is one of the topics in the Seafarers’ Health Information Programme, sponsored by the ITF Seafarers' Trust. SHIP encourages seafarers to take responsibility for their health within their living and working environment.

SAFE TRAVEL

SAFE TRAVEL is one of the topics in the Seafarers’ Health Information Programme. SHIP stimulates seafarers to take responsibility for their health within their life - and work environments and to be better prepared for a trip onboard.

HEALTHY FOOD

HEALTHY FOOD is one of the topics in the Seafarers’ Health Information Programme. SHIP encourages seafarers to take responsibility for their health within their day to day life, and also their work environment.

Although SHIP addresses individual seafarers on lifestyle related issues, SHIP is similarly an instrument for health promotion in the workplace.

MALARIA

MALARIA is one of the topics in the Seafarers’ Health Information Programme, sponsored by the ITF Seafarers’ Trust. SHIP encourages seafarers to take responsibility for their health within their living and working environment.

Although SHIP addresses individual seafarers on lifestyle related issues, SHIP is also an instrument for health promotion in the workplace. The ship, where seafarers not only work but spend all their time during a voyage, is seen as the best place for health intervention.

Malaria is a preventable, life-threatening disease transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria can kill very quickly. Prevention, recognizing symptoms and acting accordingly is therefore essential knowledge for every seafarer.

OVERWEIGHT

The International Committee on Seafarers’ Welfare, aware of the importance of lifestyle aspects in the health of seafarers, launches “OVERWEIGHT PREVENTION” as one of the topics in the Seafarers’ Health Information Programme, sponsored by the ITF Seafarers’ Trust.

The availability of healthy food choices supports a healthy workplace and helps the individual seafarer to make healthy lifestyle choices.

By information and knowledge the seafarer has to learn about the risks of overweight and the negative impact of overweight on his health. Tools have to be given to permit the seafarer to control his weight and to prevent or reduce overweight in a safe and healthy environment onboard ship.
