Environmental Health Services: Safeguarding Lodging Establishments in Johnson County

The Environmental Health team at the Johnson County Health Department is committed to protecting the health and safety of residents and visitors by ensuring that all lodging establishments in the county meet stringent standards. We work closely with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), which oversees the licensing of lodging establishments statewide.

Our Comprehensive Inspection Process

Our thorough inspections cover a wide range of factors, including:

• Cleanliness: We assess the overall cleanliness of rooms, common areas, and facilities to ensure they meet sanitary standards.
• Fire Safety: We verify that fire safety measures are in place and functioning properly, including fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and evacuation plans.
• Health and Safety Hazards: We look for potential hazards such as mold, pests, structural issues, and unsafe conditions that could pose a risk to guests.

Inspections are conducted annually, with additional inspections as needed to address any compliance issues or concerns raised by consumers.

Consumer Complaints and Unannounced Inspections

We take consumer complaints about lodging establishments very seriously and investigate them promptly. To maintain the highest standards, all inspections are unannounced and can occur at any time throughout the year.
