France – Survey services – Elaboration du Plan de Gestion de la Sécurité Sanitaire des Eaux (PGSSE)

The objectives are as follows: - to have a precise technical and organisational description of the service, - to identify, within the defined scope, all hazards relating to public health, - to describe, in a precise, homogeneous and hierarchical manner, all the risks associated with water services, - to describe the actions to be implemented or the means of control, to reduce these risks, - to assess the current organisation and describe the organisation to be put in place to incorporate the evaluation and strengthening of these action programmes into a process of continuous improvement. The structured set of actions resulting from the present study will constitute the plan for the management of the public health of LFA's waters. It will cover both the implementation of measures to reduce the public health risks associated with the production and distribution of drinking water and the implementation of an organisation and a set of procedures to deal with crisis situations in the sector.
