After a health incident
Disinfection after a health incident
Crew accommodation on board, changing rooms and canteens ashore. In both cases it is the contact points that matter, not the floor area.
On board
Cabins, alleyways, pantry, washrooms and mess. A ship concentrates a lot of people in very little volume, on shared ventilation: the work starts with what everyone touches — handles, handrails, switches, taps, keypads — then the washrooms and the textiles.
We agree the order of spaces with the ship's safety officer, so the crew is never without its mess and its washrooms at the same time. The protocol applied is handed over at the end.
In welfare facilities ashore
Changing rooms, canteen, washrooms on an industrial site. The calendar is the shutdown: a changing room cannot be dealt with mid-shift, and a disinfection done at half measures because a shift was waiting outside is worth nothing.
The written protocol — products, concentrations, surfaces, contact times, hours — goes to the HSE department and into the site file.
What the work covers
Contact points
Handles, handrails, switches, taps.
Washrooms
Full restoration, descaling, disinfection, final check.
Textiles and bedding
Treated or removed depending on condition.
Protocol
Written, dated, handed to the ship or the HSE department.
What governs the lead time
On board, the port access pass and the port-call window. Ashore, the shutdown date: on an industrial site inside a restricted area it is the combination of the two — pass and shutdown — that fixes the job, and it is prepared weeks ahead.
What we will not do
We make no diagnosis and we do not stand in for the ship's doctor or the occupational health service. We announce no health outcome: we apply a protocol and we document it. We enter no enclosed space.
Questions about this service
- Can the spaces be reoccupied straight away?
- No. Every product has a contact time, and some require rinsing or ventilation before reoccupation. We state the delay in the protocol handed over — it is a real constraint, not a formality, and it is longer on board where the ventilation is shared.
- Do you work while the crew is on board?
- Yes, by staggering the spaces one after another so the crew always keeps washrooms and somewhere to eat. The ship's safety officer settles that order with us.
