Background
Goal-orientated regulations seem to be an attractive regulatory framework both for the authorities and for industry.
It
provides flexibility where the requirements cannot be totally
prescribed because of the complexity of the processes or systems dealt
with. It gives the industry the opportunity to define the
state-of-the-art and its quick evolution in particular when innovation
is a driver some industry sectors. The role of the authorities is a
role of endorsement of the good/best practices and control of
implementation. When a goal-orientated regulation is accompanied with
agreed guidance documents or norms, it helps the industry operators to
demonstrate to the authorities the conformity with the regulations.
To
gain knowledge and understand the level of implementation of
goal-orientated regulations in the control of industrial risks INERIS
in partnership with EU-VRi decided to launch a project and analyze the
current practices in several countries and understand the difficulties
faced by the authorities and the industry.
The scope of the analysis relates to the following regulations, relating to the control of industrial risks:
· Seveso Directive
· IPPC Directive
· ATEX Directive and the Parent Directive for the Occupational Health and Safety at Work.
As part of the project, this workshop is organised in Brussels, on 20 November 2009, at CEN premises (17 Rue Marnix, Brussels, Belgium).
