Description

Regulated Industrial Facilities Level 2: Managing Operations, Anticipating Changes and Closure

Manage a permitted industrial site day to day and handle situations that fall outside the conditions of your permit

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

The site is permitted and the licence conditions are known. The difficulties now come from the life of the installation itself. A new production line changes the flows. An exceedance is recorded on a discharge point. Each situation calls for a rapid decision whose administrative consequences are measured years later.

Two days of workshop, in-person or virtual, built around real operating situations. You qualify a modification and select the appropriate administrative route. You handle non-conformities and incidents in both their technical and administrative dimensions. You prepare a site closure. Level 1 covers classification and the preparation of the initial permit application.

Learning objectives

  • Qualify a modification to an installation and select the appropriate administrative route
  • Handle a non-conformity or an incident in both its technical and administrative dimensions
  • Organise discharge monitoring and make effective use of the results
  • Manage exchanges with the regulator during an inspection or a subsequent administrative step
  • Prepare a site closure and the associated remediation obligations

What makes this programme different

A workshop built on the real operating situations brought by participants
Decision trees for qualifying a modification as substantial or not
Full handling of a closure file from notification through to site remediation
