The module will ensure that delegates understand how to effectively manage and discharge the duties required of them as authorised officers in respect of Local Authority Pollution Prevention and Control and LA-IPPC. Management issues such as performance management techniques, partnership working and the auditing and peer review of the Pollution Prevention and Control function are determined. The practical issues of managing site inspections, inspection techniques, risk assessments, fees and charges and the legal powers of inspectors are investigated. The legal duty for a Local Authority to hold a public register of permitted activities is discussed.
The module will complete with an in-depth examination of formal action options that a Local Authority may instigate for issues of non-compliance with permitting requirements, practical advice on how to organise and manage formal proceedings and a case study to illustrate enforcement at a permitted activity site.
This module stands alone but can be also undertaken as Module 5 of the EMAQ+ ‘Essentials of PPC’ course - a structured programme of training leading to the Certificate in Pollution Prevention and Control.
On completion of this module, delegates will have a better understanding of:
- Gained a better understanding of how to performance manage the LA-PPC / IPPC function

- An awareness of the powers of an inspector as provided in law and the pro’s and con’s of the enforcement tools at their disposal
