All,=A0

I will be inspecting any establishment that sells food, such as full servic
e restaurants, gas stations, day care centers, schools, fast food etc. Also
 I will inspect food distribution warehouses, public/semi-public pools, sto
rm water and industrial waste haulers. I work for the Health Department so 
I am basically inspecting these places to ensure the safety and health of i
ts customers. I also respond to citizen complaints, such as oil in driveway
s, food borne illnesses and vector control. I am basically a health inspect
or. Our city is unique in that we also respond to all east north Texas HAZM
AT incidents. I am attending HAZMAT training in Alabama in May. We have 'mi
llion dollar truck' for HAZMAT scenes that is equipped with chemical identi
fication instruments, glove box and decontamination station. I am only one 
of two people with a chemistry degree, everyone else is either biology or e
nvironmental science. So I really want to bring a
 chemical=A0perspective=A0to the department.=A0

Thanks,

Amber Potts
