Risk prioritising environmental controls

Regional Environment Agency North Sea Canal Area

The risk prioritisation scores companies based on compliance behaviour, environmental variables and the latest controls. The higher a company is on the list, the earlier it is eligible for inspections which can have an impact on any occurrences on humans and the environment.

Responsible use

Goal and impact

Help prioritise integrated supervision which helps in risk-based supervision. The impact is that a company can be visited with a different frequency.

Considerations

More information is included when scheduling surveillance checks compared to manual selection. This allows more targeted monitoring.

Human intervention

The supervision coordinator of the relevant branch looks at the scores the companies have received and then decides whether to schedule an inspection or not. If he/she doubts the outcome score, the model can be adjusted.

Risk management

Since the algorithm is rule-based, it is run only if the conditions are met. If the supervision coordinator doubts the outcome score, the model can be adjusted.

Legal basis

Environment Act

Operations

Data

Compliance behaviour, environmentally relevant variables and the company's latest environmental audits.

Technical design

The sum of the variables determines a score that is presented to the supervision coordinator in a dashboard which is taken into account in the checks to be scheduled.
