The main purpose of HSE regulatory monitoring is to identify all the regulatory texts and requirements affecting an industrial activity in terms of environmental, health and safety management, with a view to managing the company's compliance. Indeed, beyond knowing the list of regulatory requirements that apply to it, a company will above all be interested to know whether or not it complies with them and, if not, to be able to define an appropriate action plan.
Regulatory texts are very numerous in France, with over 3,000 applicable regulatory requirements (generally between 2,500 and 3,500 requirements; one text generally containing several regulatory requirements). A requirement is defined as a homogeneous part of a text or of one of its articles explaining a particular obligation
What's more, 30% of the applicable texts and 15% of the applicable requirements are modified every year, requiring constant monitoring.
Non-compliance can have a wide range of consequences for a company: from a simple fine to a shutdown of operations, aggravating circumstances or non-indemnification in the event of an accident or claim.
For the companies concerned, the implementation of an ISO 14 001 or ISO 45001 management system implies regular monitoring of regulatory developments. It is therefore essential to set up a regulatory watch that is effective, pragmatic and sustainable.
It's a good idea to consult a number of external sources, including official ones and those of industry specialists. For example, the Legifrance website lists national laws, decrees, codes and orders. The JO (Journal Officiel de la République Française) website lets you consult and stay abreast of legislative and regulatory news in France. As for the BO (Bulletins Officiels des différents ministères), they contain all texts classified by field. You'll need to select the ministries working in the fields of health, safety, environment and energy (for example: BO of the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy).
A first sorting can generally be made by observing the title of each text and checking the organization behind its publication.
At this stage, ask yourself the following questions: What is the general regulatory scope of this text? In other words, what does this text impose on the site(s)? What are its main provisions ? What is the deadline for its application?
This stage consists of selecting the requirements actually applicable to the site(s) from each of the texts that concern the site(s).
This is a requirement-by-requirement analysis(regulatory audit) of the compliance of the site(s). The aim is to determine the compliance status of the site(s) in order to identify the actions required to improve compliance.
Tennaxia's Regulatory Watch module allows you to carry out these steps simply and with peace of mind, and to deal with the particular difficulty of modifying texts.
