Abstract

This Act amends the Public Health Act 1949, to: provide regulation-making powers in relation to the installation, maintenance and inspection of any device or equipment required to prevent harmful articles or substances from entering a sewerage system; enable civil penalties to be imposed against any person who, in contravention of any such regulations, allows articles or substances, which are liable to damage, or block or to be prejudicial to public health when introduced to, the sewerage system, to be deposited into the sewerage system; regulate the capture, collection and disposal of fats, oils and grease resulting from the production, preparation or manufacture of food. The Act also amends the Public Health (Food) Regulations 1950 by inserting a definition of the Chief Environmental Health Officer and by requiring every victualling establishment to have adequate means of capturing, collecting and disposing of fats, oils and grease unless a written exemption is obtained from the Chief Environmental Health Officer.
