Four main components:
-
must inspect food premises to make sure food is safe to eat
The main purpose of the Public Health Inspection Division is to make sure the food supply eaten by the public is safe. They ensure this through the inspection of food premises and having the operator of the premises correct any problems.
-
must enforce the Food Premises Regulation
They are required by the legislation to enforce the Food Premises Regulation and prosecute any food premises that are not complying with the accepted standards. They can issue orders, tickets and summons to court to obtain compliance.
-
must educate food handlers on safe food handling methods
Since Public Health Inspectors cannot inspect all food that is being served, they must educate food handlers to make them aware of proper food handling techniques and serve only safe to eat food.

-
help develop food safety program with operators to make sure food is safe and wholesome
A food safety program contains all the aspects of food safety including inspection and education and ties them together. A food safety program empowers the operator to regulate themselves in ensuring the food is safe to eat.
