Description

Regulated Industrial Facilities Level 1: Classification, Permit Files and Regulator Dialogue

Build practical command of regulated industrial facility requirements on an industrial or logistics site

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

A site manager discovers that the operation falls within the scope of regulated industrial facilities. Neither the applicable risk category nor the real obligations set out in the environmental permit are clear. A workshop extension is under consideration without any assessment of its effect on the classification. The regulator's inspection visit is approaching and the administrative file remains incomplete.

Two days in-person or virtual to build practical command of this framework. You learn to classify a facility on the basis of its actual activities. You follow a file from application through to the issued permit. You are able to read the applicable conditions and organise the evidence of compliance expected by the inspectors.

Learning objectives

  • Classify a facility based on a description of its activities and capacities
  • Distinguish the applicable regulatory tiers and the obligations arising from each
  • Assemble the documents required for a permit application and monitor its review
  • Read an environmental permit and extract the operational obligations it contains
  • Prepare for an inspection visit and organise evidence of compliance

What makes this programme different

A classification exercise carried out on the real activities brought by participants
Guided reading of a complete environmental permit from preamble to annexes
A model compliance file built during the programme

Programme

1The scope of regulated industrial facilities

Determining whether you are concerned

  • Logic of the activity classification lists and how to read an entry
  • Activities and capacity thresholds that trigger classification
  • Notion of establishment and the operator's perimeter
  • Treatment of ancillary activities and storage areas

2Regulatory tiers and their obligations

Notification | registration | full authorisation

  • Differences in procedure and requirements between the three tiers
  • General conditions and facility-specific conditions
  • Notification obligations during operation
  • Change of operator and modification of the facility

3Building and following a permit file

From application to issued permit

  • Documents making up the file according to the applicable tier
  • Review process
  • consultation of authorities and public participation
  • Exchanges with the authority during the review
  • Reading and discussing the conditions set out in the permit

4Living with your permit

Compliance | inspection | follow-up

  • Translating permit conditions into operational obligations
  • Organising records and evidence
  • How an inspection visit unfolds
  • Possible follow-up actions and handling of non-conformities
