A Public Health Mutual Aid Agreement in MassachusettsJune 4th, 2008
FiledJune 4th, 2008Public health departments in Massachusetts are staffed by a variety of types of public health professionals, including sanitarians, public health nurses, and inspectors. The duties of public health departments vary based upon the community infrastructure (septic vs. sewer) and administrative structure. For example, communities with sewer services have little need for skilled septic tank inspectors, while other communities rely predominantly on septic systems, and could not do without those skilled inspectors.
