20 January 2010 was the 135th anniversary of the establishment of the Sanitary Inspectors’ Association of Scotland – the Association is the original forebear of today’s Institute! The Association then became The Sanitary Association of Scotland in 1878, The Incorporated Sanitary Association of Scotland in 1902 and finally The Royal Sanitary Association of Scotland (RSAS) in 1924. The RSAS joined with The Scottish Institute of Environmental Health to form REHIS in 1983. The Management Committee is currently considering a number of proposals on how best to mark this important milestone.
