Legal requirements and documentation

Is there a requirement to document specific work instructions relating to our key legislation i.e. a work instruction dedicated to the CRC Regulations or Clean Air Act and how they relate to our processes on site?

Answer:

The environmental aspects that are regulated by the legislation automatically become significant and operational controls should be applied. The level of documentation to be produced will depend on the requirements of the legislation (i.e. does the legislation itself requires some records to be produced) and the type of the operational control you decide to apply. If there are no legal requirements to produce records or to document procedure or work instruction it sis completely up to organization to decide whether to document them or not.
