Description

Environmental Regulations: Identifying, Applying and Monitoring Your Obligations

Identify the obligations that apply to your site and organise their monitoring without getting lost in the regulatory texts

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

Environmental requirements are often discovered during an inspection or a client audit: an incomplete register, a missed declaration, a waste treatment certificate that cannot be found. Requirements are updated regularly and nobody has the time to track them. A regulatory watch subscription sometimes exists, but its content is never translated into concrete obligations for the site.

Two days to find your way through the architecture of environmental requirements in the UAE and organise compliance: the regime applicable to the site, the regulated areas to be monitored, the identification of obligations, and the construction of a regulatory watch and compliance assessment tool that can be used day to day.

Learning objectives

  • Situate the main regulated areas that concern an industrial or commercial site
  • Determine the regime applicable to a facility and the obligations that follow from it
  • Translate a regulatory requirement into concrete obligations for your activity
  • Organise a regulatory watch and ensure its internal distribution
  • Build and maintain a compliance assessment tool
  • Prepare for an inspection visit and assemble the expected supporting evidence

What makes this programme different

Obligations are identified using the real situations brought by participants
A compliance assessment tool is built during the session and taken away completed
Preparation for an inspection visit is worked on using actual records and documents
