In-service training programme - Public Health Inspectors

Water is a fundamental resource, but its safety is not guaranteed. The presence of harmful microorganisms can turn a vital necessity into a significant public health threat, leading to widespread waterborne diseases.

As public health inspectors, your primary role is to act as a frontline defense, ensuring that the water consumed by our communities is safe from microbial contamination. This lecture will guide you through the critical steps of water quality surveillance, from understanding the microbes of concern to the legal and practical frameworks that empower our work. By mastering these principles, we can effectively protect public health and build trust in our water systems.
