Write a short note on sanitation at public places
Answers
Explanation:
Sanitation refers to public health conditions related to clean drinking water and adequate treatment and disposal of human wastes and sewage. ... Sanitation at public places can be maintained by Proper drainage,Garbage management and Sufficient public toilet facilities.
There are several basic rules for sanitation in public places:
• There should be sufficient toilet facilities for the maximum number of people using the area during the day.
• This normally means one toilet compartment for every 20 users. The toilet facilities should be arranged in separate blocks for men and women. The men's toilet block should have urinals and toilet compartments; the women's block, toilet compartments only. The total number of urinals plus compartments in the men's block should equal the total number of compartments in the women's block.
• Toilet facilities should not be connected directly to kitchens. This is in order to reduce the number of flies entering the kitchen and to reduce odours reaching the kitchen. It is important that people using the toilet facilities cannot pass directly through the kitchen.
• There must be a hand washing basin with clean water and soap close to, the toilet facilities. There should be separate, similar facilities near to kitchens or where food is handled.
• There must be a clean and reliable water supply for hand washing, personal hygiene and flushing of toilet facilities. The water supply should meet quality standards and be regularly tested to ensure that any contamination is discovered quickly and that appropriate remedial action is taken.
• Refuse must be disposed of properly and not allowed to build up, as it will attract flies and vermin.
