Study Session 12 Institutional Sanitation and Waste Management

Introduction

In this session you will learn about sanitation and waste management in institutions and its importance to public health. The scope of this session will be limited to schools, health institutions, prisons, public offices and religious institutions. We will consider the essential sanitation and waste management requirements for these institutions and enable you to relate this into your own locality. However, there are other public service provider institutions such as shopping centres, mill houses, slaughterhouses and market areas that may also need to be considered.
