About Environmental Services
The Environmental Section of the Jefferson County Health Department performs a
variety of services that impact the entire Jefferson County Community. Often called the "invisible profession"
the services provided by environmental health professionals in Jefferson County have
a positive, significant impact upon the health of our citizens by protecting the environment in which we all live.
Unfortunately the work that our environmental professionals do on a daily basis often goes unobserved by most of the people we serve.
The following video was produced and provided by the Georgia Environmental Health Association to help
you understand more about the "invisible
profession". The services provided by our environmental professionals touch
every citizen in every area of the county
every day.
These services include:
Food Service Inspections
Childhood Environmental Lead Investigations
Daycare and Child Care Center Inspections
Testing of Private and Public Drinking Water
