Description

QHSE Regulatory Watch: Identifying Sources, Building and Maintaining Your Compliance Register

Know exactly which requirements apply to your site and demonstrate that you check them regularly

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

Regulatory monitoring is often reduced to a subscription that nobody actually uses. Texts arrive in bulk with no filtering against the site's real activities, and the QHSE manager can no longer say which requirement applies to which installation. On audit day, the absence of an up-to-date register and of a compliance evaluation is noticed immediately.

These two days provide a complete method: identifying reliable sources, determining the requirements applicable to your activities, building a workable register, evaluating compliance periodically and handling gaps. The register is started during the session using each participant's own site.

Learning objectives

  • Identify reliable and accessible sources of regulatory information
  • Determine the requirements applicable to the site's activities and installations
  • Build a register of requirements that operational teams can actually use
  • Organise the periodic evaluation of compliance
  • Handle gaps and follow up the associated action plans
  • Report on regulatory monitoring to management and during audits

What makes this programme different

The register is started in the session using each participant's real activities
Information sources are compared live on the workstations
A compliance evaluation template is completed for a first subject area and taken away

Programme

1Framing the regulatory watch

Knowing what you are looking for

  • Subject areas covered by quality, health, safety and environment monitoring
  • Analysis of the site's activities, installations and products
  • Scope of the watch and the limits you accept
  • Respective roles of the QHSE manager and the technical departments

2Sources and organisation of collection

Finding the information without drowning in it

  • Official publications and public federal and emirate-level information sources
  • Benefits and limits of paid regulatory databases
  • Industry associations and peer exchange networks
  • Collection frequency and traceability of consultations

3Building the register of requirements

Moving from text to concrete requirement

  • Extracting applicable requirements from regulatory texts and permits
  • Rewording them as requirements that can be verified in the field
  • Linking each requirement to a process and to an owner
  • Choosing the format and the tracking fields
  • Updating the register when a new text is issued

4Evaluating compliance and handling gaps

Proving that the watch is alive

  • Organising the periodic compliance evaluation
  • Evidence expected for each requirement
  • Qualifying and prioritising the gaps identified
  • Action plans and follow-up until the gap is closed
  • Reporting to management and preparing for the audit
