Environmental Health is about making Birmingham a safe and pleasant city
in which to live, work and visit and the Environmental Health Section of
the City Council carries out work at a local level to promote and protect
public health.
Priority areas of work are set by various Council
committees including the
Public Protection Committee, which is one of the City Council’s Regulatory
Committees.
We aim is to take firm but fair regulatory action to
protect public health, the environment and to promote the well being of
all Birmingham’s citizens. Besides enforcing standards relating to food,
health and safety and environmental protection in local shops, businesses
and communities, we respond to more than 55,000 requests for assistance
each year, direct from members of the public, traders, other City Councils
and Government agencies.
CLEAN
We carry out
investigations and enforcement to tackle neighbourhood problems such as:
littering, flytipping, flyposting/placarding, dog-fouling, pollution, pest
control and drainage blockages.
SAFE
We carry out
inspections to make sure that businesses know how to comply with the law
and to check that they do. We are legally responsible for enforcing a very
wide range of legislation including:
 | food hygiene and safety including food poisoning and infectious diseases | | heath and safety at work | | environmental protection and authorised industrial processes | | nuisances such as noise, illegal littering and rubbish dumping, illegal advertising, flyposting and placarding | | animal welfare. |
