Mission Statement
Health and Environmental Services is dedicated to promoting the health of the residents of the Village of Oak Lawn and our many visitors by protecting food safety and advancing proper sanitation practices in all foodservice facilities. Through regular inspections of restaurants, groceries, bakeries, schools, nursing homes, day care centers and hospitals, healthy practices are enforced. Licensed inspectors implement the State of Illinois Foodservice Sanitation Regulations in order to insure that safe, wholesome products are offered to consumers. Principals of receiving, storing, cooling, cooking, holding and serving food are observed and reinforced in each facility. Regulating the training of managers and food handlers in the appropriate techniques for providing a healthful food product has proven to be beneficial in the prevention of foodborne illness.
