Personal Care Safety Programme

The island’s schools, camps, playgrounds, clinical laboratories and pharmacies are responsible for providing the public with safe settings for care and play. Therefore it is of critical importance that these settings meet a standard that ensures utmost safety.

Our Environmental Health officers provide inspections to the following organisations to ensure a minimum safety standard is met and to enable licensing:
