ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) protects the public from environmental health related hazards through measures and activities including management of food hygiene and safety, laboratory services, district sanitation and rodent control, engineering and developmental control, solid and hazardous wastes including waste collection, recycling and disposal; and public education and promotion programmes.

We are a very dynamic and diverse department. With over 130 employees, we are one of the largest departments in the Government of the Cayman Islands.
 
The DEH consists of several service areas. Each area has specific roles and responsibilities that collectively result in the protection of the public from environmental health hazards.
