    Health inspectors, also referred to as health and safety specialists, are responsible for evaluating and maintaining the health and safety regulations of businesses, factories and offices. In order to know whether those regulations are being followed, a health inspector must have a thorough knowledge of all aspects of current law as it applies to workplace safety. Health inspectors are granted the authority to impose fines and shut down locations that don't comply with the required standards.

Usually the public perception of a health inspector is someone who examines restaurants and ensures they maintain sanitary standards for food safety set by the regulating authority.

    Usually the public perception of a health inspector is someone who examines restaurants and ensures they maintain sanitary standards for food safety set by the regulating authority. However, most health inspectors have broader job duties, including inspecting swimming pools, substandard housing conditions, public schools, day cares, nursing homes, and personal service establishments such as tattoo parlours.

    A health inspector is a trained professional who can perform many different types of jobs and work in a variety of environments. Many jobs available are those through government agencies (municipal, state or federal) that involve assessing safety of workplaces both for employees and for consumers that might use them and/or purchase any product produced by a workplace.www.Google.com

    Health Inspector responsibilities are: inspecting machines, testing air quality, suggesting ways to improve the safety of work areas, developing programs and procedures to help prevent work injury or diseases associated with certain work environments, identifying potential physical, chemical and biological hazards and designing ergonomic equipment such as chairs and desks to decrease worker discomfort and promote increased work efficiency. Health inspectors also offer health and safety training programs and recommend specific changes in work methods.

    Public health inspectors are imprtant to life in the United States, because one of their responsibilities is to make sure that businesses and restaurants are clean and free from contaminants or harmful substances that cause sickness or even death. Public health inspectors ensure that locations are safe to occupy; if there are issues that need to be resolved, inspectors require changes to be made for the health of the general population.

    When a health inspector from a governmental regulatory agency visits a food service facility, they need to learn about your operation. The regulator will ask lots of questions to identify what types of food processes are at your facility and what potential food safety hazards might exist. They will observe your food handlers and may ask them questions. The best advice is to know the processes in your facility, cooperate, answer questions honestly, keep your staff well trained in food safety, and utilize the inspection as an opportunity to learn even more.

  17. One of the most common responsibilities of a public health inspector is to go through commercial, public or industrial businesses to make sure they are up to code with safety. The most common locations for a public health inspector to analyze are processing plants or slaughterhouses, restaurants, hospitals, and areas the public visit such as a beach or swimming pool. The inspector is looking to make sure that water is not contaminated for drinking or recreational purposes, food is properly stored, employees wash before handling food, and even that restroom facilities are properly working and not causing any backup or hazards. Public health inspectors will make note of any violations within the company and then require they be fixed before signing off on the location. If a business fails to fix environmental hazards, it may either be shut down or presented with legal action to fix hazards.

    I think that they may respond to complaints such as animal bites, garbage complaints, odor complaints, or sewage overflows. But it is due to their educational background so that they can provide information and referrals with regards to; lead, radon, mold, and emerging diseases such as West Nile Virus and Avian Flu.

Depending on their jurisdiction, Registered Environmental Health Specialists often permit and inspect wells, private water systems, or individual subsurface sewage disposal (septic) systems. Other tasks include; campground inspections, tanning salon inspections, beauty salon inspections, correctional facility inspections and mobile home park inspection.

    They may also respond to complaints such as animal bites, garbage complaints, odor complaints, or sewage overflows. Due to their educational background they can provide information and referrals with regards to; lead, radon, mold, and emerging diseases such as West Nile Virus and Avian Flu. The field also overlaps with hazardous materials (Hazmat) and many Hazmat responders are also Licensed Environmental Health Practitioners or Registered Environmental Health Specialists.

    What are the responsibilities of a health inspector? Their job is to go to jobs and see how the environment is whether it's clean or not clean. Health inspectors can shut down place just because the place is nasty. The job of a health inspector is tedious and rewarding when you have kept everyone who goes to that specific restaurant safe and free from harm.

    The Health Department conducts unannounced inspections of restaurants at least once a year. Inspectors check for compliance in food handling, food temperature, personal hygiene and vermin control. Each violation of a regulation earns a certain number of points. At the end of the inspection, the inspector totals the points, and this number is the restaurant's inspection score—the lower the score, the better.
