Environmental Sanitation Regime | Pest Management Survey

Introduction

What is the Environmental Sanitation Regime?

The Environmental Sanitation (ES) Regime, launched by the National Environment Agency (NEA), is a framework aimed at promoting public health by ensuring high hygiene standards across various premises. It mandates structured cleaning and pest control to prevent the spread of diseases.

The link between ES Regime and Pest Control

As part of the ES Regime, pest control is essential in maintaining hygienic conditions. Mandatory pest management surveys must be conducted every six months by a registered vector control operator. ORIGIN helps businesses comply with these requirements by implementing a pest management plan and providing the comprehensive pest management survey. Our specialists identify pest risks, offer solutions, and ensure compliance with the NEA’s sanitation standards.

KEEP YOUR HOME PEST FREE

ES Regime: Key Requirements

Environmental Sanitation Programme (ESP): Premises must have an ESP that includes regular cleaning, routine disinfection, and inspections to maintain hygiene standards.
Appointment of an Environmental Control Coordinator (ECC): All premises must appoint an NEA-certified ECC responsible for overseeing sanitation and ensuring compliance with the ESP.
Regular Audits and Inspections: NEA auditors will inspect premises to ensure compliance. Non-compliance can lead to penalties and corrective actions.
Public Awareness: Premises must educate the public and staff about hygiene standards, including pest control, hand hygiene, and waste management, using posters and educational materials.
Pest Management Surveys: Conducted every six months by certified pest control professionals to ensure that premises are free from pests and comply with hygiene requirements.

Environmental Sanitation Steps

Routine Cleaning Implementation: Set up a regular cleaning and disinfection schedule for high-risk areas, ensuring thorough cleaning every six months.
Annual Maintenance Checks: Conduct yearly maintenance and inspections of all surfaces and critical areas to ensure continued hygiene compliance.
Cleaning Protocol Setup: Establish cleaning and disinfection protocols and provide staff with the necessary training, equipment, and cleaning agents for effective cleaning.
Pest Control Integration: Develop a pest management plan that includes a comprehensive pest management survey every six months to assess pest activity and sanitation effectiveness.
Continuous Vector Monitoring: Regularly monitor the premises to ensure no significant pest or vector issues are present, maintaining a safe and hygienic environment.
