Development of an easy and flexible risk assessment tool as a part of the planning of environmental inspections linked to European environmental law and the RMCEI (easyTools)

This is a report of “easyTools”. The main objective of this project, executed in 2010 and 2011, was to develop an easy and flexible risk assessment tool as part of the planning of environmental inspections linked to European environmental law (IED and SEVESO) and the RMCEI. The annexes offer supplementary materials like the project's terms of reference for both years, progress reports, and a workshop report. Importantly, Annex 3 provides a detailed report on the questionnaire responses from various IMPEL member countries regarding their current risk assessment practices. This report highlights the diverse criteria and methods employed across Europe, illustrating the need for a more standardized approach.

Nimega ‘easyTools’ kogus Saksamaa juhitud projektirühm teavet kogu Euroopas kasutatavate riskihindamiste kohta. Selle teabe põhjal töötati välja ja katsetati uut reeglipõhist metoodikat, mida nimetatakse integreeritud riskihindamismeetodiks (IRAM). Raamatus easyTools "Riskihindamise juhendmaterjal" tutvustatakse integreeritud riskihindamismeetodit (IRAM), mis on reeglipõhine metoodika keskkonnariskide hindamiseks ja kontrollide planeerimiseks. IRAM aitab prioriseerida inspekteerimistegevusi riski alusel, tasakaalustades mõju ja käitajate tegevust2. Meetod kasutab riskikategooriate ja inspekteerimissageduste määramiseks nii mõju kriteeriume (keskkonnamõju) kui ka käitajate tulemuslikkuse kriteeriume (mõju tõenäosus) koos kaaluteguritega. IMPELi veebisaidil kättesaadav IRAM-vahend toetab seda metoodikat, pakkudes paindlikkust erinevate kontrollide, sealhulgas tööstusheite direktiiviga (IED) ja Seveso III direktiiviga seotud kontrollide puhul. 

For several years IMPEL worked on the subject of inspection planning in the project Doing the right thing (DTRT). DTRT introduced the environmental inspection cycle. Important steps in that cycle are setting priorities and defining inspection targets and related performance indicators.
