ABSTRACT

A completely updated edition encompassing changes to the law since 1995. This is an essential reference source for practising environmental health officers and students as well as key reading for related professionals, notably lawyers and consultants. It provides an accessible entry into enforcement procedures for environmental health without recourse to longer expensive reference works. It is a 'how to do' practical book full of detailed legal compliance information, which removes the need to wade through legal encyclopaedias and Acts of Parliament in order to check on a point of procedure. It also uses flow charts to portray the format and the principles of every legal procedure used in the environmental health control system.
