Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs) operate within the district health system of South Africa. Local authorities are the guardians of environmental health and are the main employers. Other employment opportunities exist in national government departments, e.g. the Department of Health, Water Affairs, Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Labour; as well as Provincial Health Departments and the SA National Defence Force. Further career opportunities exist in industry, including environmental health consultants in food hygiene and safety as well as in occupational health and safety. Environmental health practitioners are not office bound. The majority of work is often in an outdoor environment. It is an extremely diverse career.
