The final part of this course deals with the liability of the individual andof the agency for actions performed in their regulatory capacity.
In this final lesson, we will examine the issue of liability. It should be obvious that the sanitarian, environmental protection specialist or industrial hygienist employed by federal, state or local government agencies must be treated differently by the employer than private employees. Corresponding to their special treatment, is the enhanced responsibilities of public employees who hold positions of public trust. So that environmental health practitioners may perform their job thoroughly and diligently, they must be aware of the protection the law affords and the sanctions which may result from misconduct.
