Bassett’s Environmental Health Procedures is a long-standing, must-have reference book for practising environmental health officers in local government and in private practice. It covers all the key legislative procedures for the service of a wide range of notices to deal with public health problems throughout the UK. The tenth edition covers the following subjects and reflects new practices, legislation and statutory guidance:

The legal framework Environmental protection – including air quality, noise, pollution control Food safety Health and safety at work Housing Port health Public health

Each procedure includes a simple description of the legislation and a flow diagram showing the procedure to follow in using that legislation. Written for the increasingly pressurised local authority environmental health practitioner, this book will help them to understand the legislation quickly and easily and how to deploy it effectively. Bassett’s is also an essential reference for all those whose responsibilities demand they keep abreast of current environmental health practices.

Tim Deveaux is a retired independent environmental health practitioner with over 36 years of public sector experience in a wide range of areas in environmental health and sustainability. His experience includes housing, drainage, food safety, health and safety, air pollution and noise, infectious disease control, developing and implementing strategies to change behaviour and protecting the environment and human health, particularly in planning for, and implementing, climate change and sustainability solutions. Bill Bassett authored the first seven editions of Environmental Health Procedures, the first of which appeared in 1983. His dedication to navigating and clarifying the relevant regulations and laws in this book has aided countless environmental health practitioners in the UK and beyond. Bill passed the baton to Tim Deveaux in 2013, but remained on hand to help both the new author and the publisher throughout. Bill sadly died in 2017, and his legacy remains a testament to a leading, visionary and dedicated environmental health practitioner.
