SUBCOURSE MD0162
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
INTRODUCTION
In order to keep the environment clean and free of offensive sights and smells
which cause a decrease in morale, to reduce harborage and food for insects and
rodents, and to control communicable diseases which reduce manpower and work
efficiency, the practice of sanitary waste disposal is necessary. The preventive
medicine specialist has the task of spotting sanitary deficiencies and making the
appropriate corrective recommendations. Because this is an important job, the basic
aspects of it must be learned carefully.
This subcourse consists of two lessons and an examination as follows:
Lesson 1. Solid Waste Disposal at Fixed Installation.
Lesson 2. Solid Waste Disposal in the Field.
Examination
Credit Awarded:
Upon successful completion of this subcourse, you will be awarded 4 credit
