Preparation and Management of Prescribed Process Permit Application
RSA can help you to produce an application for a permit to operate as required by the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations 2000. We can assist with decisions on upgrade plans and substantial changes and are able to produce professional documentation and liase with the local authority on your behalf.
Environmental Auditing
Our A-Z audit is comprehensive, but easy to understand and follow. It has an A-Z index of relevant subjects and includes a basic scoring system that can be used to measure year-on-year performance if required.
Our audit reviews your management systems in practice and identifies your strengths and weaknesses, so your resources can be used where they are most needed.
ISO 14001 Implementation and Assistance
Whether you are already working towards formal accreditation of your environmental management system or if you are just thinking about starting to work towards it, RSA can assist you.
Support can be provided in the form of practical help and feedback as well as a gap analysis report. This will allow you to gain an overview of how far you have to go to be compliant with standards such as ISO 14001 or EMAS and, more importantly, how you can bridge the gaps.
Air Quality Surveys
RSA is able to produce professional desk-top air quality survey reports based upon empirical emissions and traffic data for the purpose of assisting planning applications.
Environmental Noise Surveys
At RSA we are able to assess noise from your premises and compare it to environmental standards such as BS4142 and PPG24 for planning purposes or to support a prescribed process application under the permit scheme introduced by the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations 2000.
We have fully trained and competent staff who are members of the Institute of Acoustics which is the recognised body regarding noise assessment. In addition all of our consultants are qualified EHO’s who have worked within local authorities so they are able to fully understand the effect that a noise source will have on a receiver and provide a report that fully addresses nuisance issues. A fully digitised Type 1 sound level meter is used with the capability of recording noise levels in third octaves. This means that highly accurate noise levels can be measured and used to produce both graphical and technical analysis with recommendations to ensure that you comply with legislation. As always, we make sure that our advice is practical and realistic.
RSA can provide the following environmental noise assessments:
- Road traffic noise assessments
- BS4142 Noise Assessments
- Noise risk assessments of entertainment noise
- Noise risk assessments in support of planning applications
- Noise risk assessments in support of public entertainment
- License applications
- Workplace noise risk assessments
- Statutory Nuisance Noise assessments
