Practitioners with what type of condition are prohibited from practicing in a sanitation establishment?

Practitioners with communicable diseases or parasitic infections are prohibited from practicing in a sanitation establishment because of the potential risk these conditions pose to public health. Communicable diseases can easily spread from one person to another, posing significant health risks in environments where cleanliness and sanitation are critical. These practitioners may unknowingly transmit infections to clients or co-workers, undermining the purpose of sanitation practices aimed at safeguarding health and preventing outbreaks.

In contrast, chronic non-communicable diseases, seasonal allergies, and minor skin irritations generally do not pose the same immediate threat of spreading infections to others. While maintaining good health is important for all practitioners, the key concern in sanitation settings revolves around preventing the transmission of pathogens that can cause illness. Therefore, those with communicable conditions are specifically restricted to ensure a safe environment for both workers and clients.
