INTRODUCTION

A. Backgrounds

Sanitarians (also known as Public Health Inspectors or Environmental Health

Practitioners) are responsible for taking action to protect public health, including
administering and enforcing laws related to environmental health and providing
support to minimize occupational health and safety hazards. They are involved in a
variety of activities, for example inspecting food facilities, investigating public health
disorders, and implementing disease control. Environmental health officers focus on
prevention, consultation, investigation, and educating the public regarding health risks
and maintaining a safe environment.
Sanitarians bring an understanding of microbiology, risk assessment,
environmental science and technology, food science, as well as skills and knowledge
related to monitoring and controlling infectious diseases. They must also have strong
investigative skills and a thorough understanding of the application of laws relating to
environmental health and society. Working closely with Government Ministries (such

community institutions and individual members of the public, Sanitarians play an
important role in protecting public health.
Sanitation professionals are usually employed by local governments or state
health authorities to provide advice and implement public health standards.
