What must Health Inspectors show to the person in charge of an establishment when requested?

Health Inspectors are required to present a photo identification and a badge when requested by the person in charge of an establishment. This requirement is critical because it ensures transparency and confirms the inspector's authority to conduct the inspection. The photo identification serves as a means of verifying the identity of the official, while the badge signifies their role and responsibilities within the health department. This protocol protects both the establishment and the inspector, as it establishes a legitimate basis for the inspection process.

Other options such as a badge and business card, or a certificate and verification letter, do not adequately fulfill the need for direct identification and official representation during the inspection. Similarly, presenting a registration number and inspection report would not provide sufficient identification of the inspector or their credentials at the moment of request.
