(viii) Educational Activities
In addition to the routine duties of inspections and observations,
the Public Health Inspectors continue to give talks and
lectures to local organisations and wherever possible great stress
is laid on food hygiene. At least once during the year a lecture
is given to the staffs employed in the school canteens.
Frequent lectures are also given on the general work of the
Health Department. These lectures are enhanced by the use of
coloured slides depicting the various aspects of the work. The
department now possesses a collection of over 500 coloured slides
that have all been taken locally by one of the Public Health
Inspectors.
