2  Development of enforcement strategy  Inspection and enforcement actions, required by Seveso  Development and implementation of Inspection programme  Planning, performing and reporting Inspections  Follow up activities  Investigation after Major accident  Penalties and Prohibition of use Structure of the presentation

3 Part of the Regulatory cycle Enforcement of the Seveso II Directive

4 Basic Process of Enforcement

5 Risk Analysis and Priorities Step 1: Develop a risk matrix: BehaviourTarget groups Legal interests Risk matrix Prioritisation High Priorities Low Priorities

6 Further analysis of priorities Target GroupsPriorities Step 2: Enforceability Analysis Enforcement Approaches Behaviour Analysis Intervention Techniques Workability Analysis Interventions Expected Results Feedback (Assessment of the results towards the initial goals)

7  Article 18 – Inspections  Requires a system of inspections  Planned and systematic appraisal of the technical, organisational or managerial measures applied by the operator  Article 9(4)  Decision on the Safety Report, incl. the prohibition of use  Article 10  Modifications  Article 11(4)  Control of the Emergency Plans  Article 14(2)  Investigation following a major accident  Article 17  Prohibition of use Seveso II Requirements for inspections and enforcement

8  Article 18 - The CA should organise a system of inspections, which delivers planned and systematic examination of the technical, organisational or managerial systems employed at the site and ensures: that the operator can demonstrate that he has taken appropriate measures, in connection with the various activities involved in the establishment, to prevent major accidents, that the operator can demonstrate that he has provided appropriate means for limiting the consequences of major accidents, on site and off site, that the data and information contained in the safety report, or any other report submitted, adequately reflects the conditions in the establishment, that information has been supplied to the public pursuant to Article 13 (1). Seveso II Requirements for inspections

9  The system of inspections should consist of: Programme of inspections for all establishments or annual inspections of top tier sites; Report, prepared by the competent authority following each inspection; Where necessary, follow up within a reasonable period following the inspection. Seveso II Requirements towards the system of inspections

10  Initial data needed:  Data on sites  Number of sites (per Inspectorate)  Estimated Level of Compliance of operators (incl. administrative and safety culture)  Data on legal Requirements  Legal Requirements  Scope of the Inspections  Inspecting Authorities  Competencies of the IA  Data on the administrative capacity of the IA  Average Time for inspections (incl. planning, preparation and reporting)  Number of inspectors (per Inspectorate)  Lower tier/Top tier ratio  Reporting procedures  Follow-up procedures  Non-routine inspections Development of Seveso II Inspection programme

11 Seveso II Inspection programme  Content of the Seveso II Inspection programme  RMCEI  Inventory of the sites  Geographic area covered  Time period  Provision for review and update  Identification of specific sites (LT/TT)  Programme for routine/non-routine inspections  Provision of coordination  Frequency of inspections  Public access Development of Seveso II Inspection programme

12 Seveso II Inspection programme  Content of the Seveso II Inspection programme  The Seveso Directive  Systematic and planned approach  Programme of inspections, based on the appraisal of the risk of major accidents (if not, annual inspections of TT sites)  Reporting of the inspections  Follow-up of inspections  Clear scope - technical, organizational or managerial measure for accident prevention and control, demonstrating that:  the operator has taken appropriate measures to prevent major accidents,  the operator has provided appropriate means for limiting the consequences of major accidents  the data and information contained in the safety report adequately reflects the conditions in the establishment  information has been supplied to the public Development of Seveso II Inspection programme

13  Possible steps  Preparation  Registry/inventory of the sites  Status report on the competencies and capacity of the IA  Status report on the capacity of the operators  Coordination and cooperation issues  Enforcement techniques  Action plan on enforcement  Implementation  Guidance notes and other tools for inspections  Routine inspections  Non-routine inspections  Follow-up  Reporting  Enforcement of the legal requirements  Review and update  Progress indicators  Update provisions Development of Seveso II Inspection programme

25 Identification of IA Legal requirements for joint inspections Legal requirements for Planning and reporting of inspections Agreement of common ToR between the IA Preparation for Inspections Competencies Performing inspections Follow-up Enforcement measures Preparation The Enforcement of Seveso II – Bulgarian experience
