To
protect public health and safety, Environmental Health Specialists
perform inspections and issue permits or registrations to
large and small quantity medical waste generators. Staff conduct
seminars to keep all generators informed about changes in
regulations. All citizen's complaints regarding medical waste
disposal are investigated. An Environmental Health Specialist
responds to illegal disposal incidents whenever the need arises.
Tattooing,
body piercing and permanent cosmetics practitioners are required
to annually register with the Environmental Health Division.
Pending the enactment of State standards, staff conduct advisory
inspections to provide education, recommendations and support
to practitioners within Ventura County. |
