Inspectional Services

Inspectional Services

The Inspectional Services program provides member communities with access to trained, qualified Health Inspectors. Alliance Health Inspectors work under the direction of the municipal Boards of Health to provide environmental health inspections and other required Board of Health services related to permitting and inspections for Title 5 (on-site septic), food establishments, children’s camps, swimming pools, beaches, housing, complaints and more. 

Food Safety

Berkshire Regional Planning Commission’s Public Health Program and the Berkshire Public Health Alliance are working together to improve food safety in the region by supporting communities in joining the FDA Voluntary Program Standards, completing food safety self-assessments, accessing advanced Food Safety trainings, joining the Alliance online permitting system, and working regionally towards meeting all nine FDA Voluntary Retail Program Standards. All Alliance Food Inspectors meet the rigorous FDA Food Inspector Standardization Certification. For more information and to access services, contact alliance@berkshireplanning.org
