Almost every aspect of daily life is the workplace for an environmental safety inspector. The quality of the environment affects people wherever they work or play, in the food they eat, in their homes and offices, in the water they drink and in the disposal of waste. Vigilant attention to maintaining a safe environment prevents illness and helps to keep people safe. The duties of an environmental safety inspector are vital in providing education as well as surveillance to ensure the enforcement of laws that protect the public.<\/p>\n
The government of Canada, in its Service Canada \u2013 People Serving People program<\/a>, states that inspectors are responsible for monitoring conditions in public facilities, industrial establishments, restaurants, municipal water systems and other locations to make sure that regulations are enforced. Government standards provide guidelines for pollution control, sanitation, management of hazardous materials and other matters that affect the environment. Recognition of the public\u2019s awareness of the need for strict enforcement of environmental protective measures has led the government to anticipate an increase in the number of staff involved in environmental safety inspections.<\/p>\nSupporting Services in the United Kingdom<\/h3>\n
