Operator Competence
This guidance provides an explanation of:
⢠the basis for requiring an operator to demonstrate competence;
⢠those elements of an application for an environmental permit which
when taken together demonstrate an operatorâÂÂs competence; and
⢠how information provided by operators is used to assess competence.
The guidance focuses on the assessment of competence when determining
applications for the grant or transfer of a permit. However, the operator is
required to maintain competence for the duration of the permit and we may
reassess an operatorâÂÂs competence at any time, and particularly where the
results of compliance assessment suggest competence may not have been managed
