The Ohio Department of Health (ODH), Bureau of Environmental Health, Indoor Environments Section houses the School Environmental Health Program.  This program works to improve the environmental health of Ohio’s schools through non-regulatory means.  The ODH School Environmental Health Inspection Guidance Document has been completed.  Local Health Departments are under no obligation to use this guidance and it is not enforceable by law, it provides information and resources on inspections that ODH believes address current issues in school environmental health and protect the health of school building occupants. 

If you would like a copy of the ODH School Inspection Guidance Document, the School Inspection Form, or any other school resources, please contact program at (614) 466-1390.
