HomeHealth risks and prevention practices during handling of fumigated containers in ports
Literature review
Metadados da publicação
Freight containers are widely used all over the world to transport goods. These freight containers are frequently fumigated with pesticides before shipping. Pest control is implemented to protect the cargo from being damaged by pests during the long transport time, and thereby to prevent the spread of unwanted organisms. This review is limited to pesticides used for fumigating containers. Chemicals that may be released from materials in the cargo are not included The objective of this report is to provide a review of potential occupational safety and health (OSH)-related risks resulting from exposure to fumigated freight containers in ports, and to identify prevention gaps and suggest recommendations on how these risks can be minimised. To achieve this, the report describes relevant legislation, gives examples of preventive actions and strategies that are used, identifies health and safety risks, and includes final conclusions and recommendations.
