All, 

I will be inspecting any establishment that sells food, such as full 
service restaurants, gas stations, day care centers, schools, fast food 
etc. Also I will inspect food distribution warehouses, public/semi-public 
pools, storm water and industrial waste haulers. I work for the Health 
Department so I am basically inspecting these places to ensure the safety 
and health of its customers. I also respond to citizen complaints, such as 
oil in driveways, food borne illnesses and vector control. I am basically 
a health inspector. Our city is unique in that we also respond to all east 
north Texas HAZMAT incidents. I am attending HAZMAT training in Alabama in 
May. We have 'million dollar truck' for HAZMAT scenes that is equipped 
with chemical identification instruments, glove box and decontamination 
station. I am only one of two people with a chemistry degree, everyone 
else is either biology or environmental science. So I really want to bring 
a chemical perspective to the department. 

Thanks,

Amber Potts

Amber,
 
We could narrow your reading list if you would describe your

Hey all, 

I just got my first job out of college as an Environmental Health 
Specialist. I am very excited!! Does anyone have any advice on ACS 
webinars or books that would help me excel during my probationary period? 
Any comments would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks,
