Registered sanitarians are public health professionals qualified by specialized education and field experience to protect the safety, health, and general welfare of Texans. Registered sanitarians go by many names, including environmental health specialist and the “dreaded” health inspector. Sanitarians work with restaurateurs to evaluate and improve food safety standards. They trap mosquitoes from April to November to get tested for diseases like West Nile Virus and St. Louis Encephalitis. They are present behind the scenes at sporting events, concerts, festivals, and farmers markets.
