The Environmental Health Registration Board (EHRB) is a body in the United Kingdom which issues certificates of registration on completion of approved professional qualification programmes and accredits courses of study.
The organisation maintains a register of people who have been issued with such certificates.
Additionally EHRB conducts practice-related assessments of technical support staff who are undertaking accredited courses of study.
The EHRB's activities are closely associated with many aspects of the works of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and its Education and Professional Standards Unit. The Board's directors are mainly CIEH Trustees, drawn from the Education and Professional Standards Board, although nominations to the Board may be made by the Secretary of State for Health (up to two persons), government departments or agencies with an interest in environmental health (for example the Food Standards Agency). Other persons with an appropriate interest in environmental health may also be appointed by the Board.
Famous quotes containing the words health and/or board:
“...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
“What happens in a strike happens not to one person alone.... It is a crisis with meaning and potency for all and prophetic of a future. The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)
