The Division of Public Health Protection and Safety provides a variety of environmental health services to the general public and other local and state agency partners. These services range from monitoring exposure to radiation to ensuring sanitation of food, milk, and various public facilities including hotels, swimming pools, tattoo studios and others. These programs provide technical consultation, guidance and training to the sixty-one (61) local health departments (LHDs) and approximately 700 LHD environmental registered sanitarians, and regulatory oversight to thousands of Kentucky's regulated businesses. The Program's mission is to promote a healthier, safer public through prevention, education, communication, and regulation.
The Radiation Health Branch inspects and issues over 720 licenses to users of radioactive materials. The branch monitors the transportation of radioactive waste throughout the Commonwealth, and is mandated and equipped to respond to radiological emergencies 24 hours a day. The branch registers and inspects more than 4,000 facilities with 10,715 X-Ray tubes, conducts reviews and inspections of approximately 163 mammography facilities, and approves approximately 65 shielding plans for facilities. The branch also operates a radiation health laboratory which collects and analyzes approximately 5,000 environmental samples for radiologic contamination annually and conducts over 6,000 analyses on the samples. This branch provides monitoring for radiologic sites such as the Maxey Flats Disposal Site and the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
The Milk Safety Branch operates under Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 217C, to prevent adulteration, misbranding, and false advertising of milk and milk products and protects the public from disease transmission through milk products. This mandate is achieved through inspections of dairy farms, dairy plants, micro-processors, distributors, milk haulers, and other entities improving
