Port Health Good Practice Guides: Introductory Guide

Wednesday 10 August 2005

The introductory guide was developed to complement the good practice guides developed by the sea-ports in the report, Benchmarking the Port Health Function, working with the Syniad Benchmarking Centre in 2002.

The Guide is applicable to all sea and air ports as it identifies the minimum standards that are required by bringing together the requirements of the Framework Agreement and Guidance for Local Authorities in Great Britain on Imported Food and Feed Controls.

The review of the existing guides to bring them up to date and include the work of the airports is ongoing and due to be completed by the end of September 2005.
