Environmental Health Inspections

The UCI campus and the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) have an agreement in place where the UCI Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHS) will provide consumer protection and retail food facility regulation oversight for all UCI operated facilities, non-UCI vendor-operated facilities and temporary food booths operating on the UCI campus property. These responsibilities will be conducted by a Registered Environmental Health Specialist (REHS).

Permitting and inspection services for all swimming pools and spas will also be conducted by the UCI campus REHS along with complaint investigations, record retention, and construction plan review.

Domestic water quality on UCI property will also be addressed by EHS.
