ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATIONAL CONTROL ASSESSMENT TEMPLATE

Work Instructions

This document will be available to inspectors to record their assessment of the environmental management system, safety and environmentally critical elements, OPEP and other aspects relevant to this discipline contained in a Design Notification or Relocation Notification submitted under SCR2015. It identifies the specific regulations contained within SCR2015 that relate to these topics and identifies what the CA expects to find within a design notification or relocation notification to meet those requirements. The document is drafted to complement the guidance being produced to support the regulations as well as existing topic sector guidance.

Non Acceptance Issue A Non Acceptance Issue (NAI) is a deficiency in the demonstration made for health, safety and environment within the safety case, which, if not resolved, will prevent the case from being accepted under the relevant statutory provisions. Non Acceptance Issues require formal communication with the operator to ensure they are dealt with in the appropriate manner giving them every chance to address the deficiency. The Operator will be given 14 calendar days to respond.

Clarification A Clarification is an explanation provided to an inspector, by an operator, to allow them to be confident of their interpretation of the demonstration provided within the safety case.

Clarifications are carried out as part of the routine of assessment work and should be raised with the operator swiftly and informally and by direct means of communication (by telephone / email) and would normally expect a prompt response.

In complex cases the requirement for clarification can be pre-empted by setting up a meeting between the operator and relevant topic specialists to facilitate discussion and understanding between the 2 parties before the case is submitted or in the very early stages of the assessment.

Where any uncertainty relates to an area that has the potential to lead to a Non-Acceptance Issue a request for Clarification would not be appropriate and the issue should be identified as a Non-Acceptance Issue and raised immediately in the appropriate fashion
