Bassett's Environmental Health Procedures

Bassett’s Environmental Health Procedures is a long-standing, must-have reference book for practising environmental health officers in local government and in private practice. It covers all the key legislative procedures for the service of a wide range of notices to deal with public health problems throughout the UK. The tenth edition covers the following subjects and reflects new practices, legislation and statutory guidance:

• The legal framework
• Environmental protection – including air quality, noise, pollution control
• Food safety
• Health and safety at work
• Housing
• Port health
• Public health

Each procedure includes a simple description of the legislation and a flow diagram showing the procedure to follow in using that legislation. Written for the increasingly pressurised local authority environmental health practitioner, this book will help them to understand the legislation quickly and easily and how to deploy it effectively. Bassett’s is also an essential reference for all those whose responsibilities demand they keep abreast of current environmental health practices.
