All, span>< /span>
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 span> to the department. < /span>
Thanks,< /span>

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

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,
Amber Potts
