Course Overview
The Environmental Public Health Amendment Bill was passed in Parliament to mandate baseline environment sanitation standards for high-risk premises such as eldercare facilities. These standards include cleaning frequencies, cleaning and disinfection protocols, pest management, etc. The program must be developed and implemented by Premise Managers and Environmental Control Coordinators (ECC), who will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to carry out their roles and tasks to comply with the regulatory requirements as mandated by legislation.
This course is aligned with the Learning Objectives and Performance Statement provided by NEA to train ECCs to implement a sanitization program that complies with the Environmental Sanitisation Regime (ESR) at their premises. The teaching materials and course structure has been reviewed by NEA, and NEA has endorsed this course to be mandatory training such that the participant can apply to NEA to be licensed as an ECC only upon completion of the course and passing the assessment. The ECC license is renewable every three years. An ECC may choose to attend the course and take the assessment or take the assessment only for subsequent renewal of license.
