About Course

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, the participants will be able to

  1. understand the importance of the Environmental Sanitation Regime, the roles of key stakeholders (the premises managers and environmental control coordinators), and an overview of pest management, cleaning and disinfection and indoor air quality.
  2. draft and oversee the implementation of an Environmental Sanitation Programme as Environmental Control Coordinators.

Course Description

In Oct 2020, the Environmental Public Health (EPH) Amendment Bill was passed in Parliament to mandate baseline environmental sanitation standards for specified premises. Regulatory requirements will take effect from mid-2021, and implementation on premises will be in phases, starting with higher-risk premises with high footfall and/or immuno-vulnerable occupants (e.g. preschools, schools, youth and eldercare facilities, hawker centres and coffeeshops). The new regime will require these premises to develop and implement an environmental sanitation programme (ESP), which includes baseline standards across sectors in areas such as cleaning frequencies, cleaning and disinfection protocols, pest management etc. The ESP for each premise will be developed and implemented by 2 key personnel –   premises managers and environmental control coordinators (ECC). These personnel will need training to be better prepared on their roles and tasks.
