Brief summary

The Guidelines on Sanitation and Health emphasize the importance of risk assessment and management to ensure
the safety of sanitation systems across the entire service chain. Sanitation Safety Planning (SSP) is the recommended
approach for this purpose, with sanitation inspections serving as the most basic form of SSP. While SSP is tailored
for complex urban sanitation systems, sanitation inspections are more applicable to simpler onsite systems, making
them especially relevant in rural areas.


This document provides a summary of tools and examples of the implementation of sanitation inspections, tailored
to different contexts and objectives and their application within varied regulatory environments.
