Description

Regulated Industrial Facility: Mastering the Applicable Regime, Permit Conditions and Inspections

Maintain day-to-day compliance at a regulated industrial facility and face an inspection without improvising

  • 5 days — 35 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • All levels
  • Up to 6 participants

A regulated facility accumulates successive permits, scattered technical conditions and monitoring obligations whose traceability often rests on a single person. During an inspection visit or a change of activity, the gaps surface all at once and the operator's liability is engaged.

Five days to take full ownership of a regulated site: identifying the applicable regime and permit conditions, organising monitoring, controlling accidental and chronic risks, managing modifications and site closure. This programme focuses on the regulated facility itself rather than on the environmental function as a whole.

Learning objectives

  • Determine the regime applicable to your installations and identify the relevant activity categories
  • Extract enforceable conditions from the applicable permits and organise their follow-up
  • Structure emissions monitoring and the traceability of periodic controls
  • Prepare an inspection visit and handle the follow-up actions arising from it
  • Manage a facility modification and anticipate site closure and remediation

What makes this programme different

Each participant builds their own site compliance register from their actual permits
An inspection visit is simulated with technical questions and requests for supporting evidence
Accident scenarios are worked through in the room with a full alert and response timeline

Programme
