How often should facilities review their compliance schedules?

Facilities should review their compliance schedules on a continuous basis as regulations change because environmental regulations are dynamic and can frequently evolve. Continuous review ensures that facilities remain aware of any new requirements, amendments to existing laws, or changes in enforcement priorities that could impact their operations. By staying proactive, facilities can adjust their practices and compliance plans accordingly, reducing the risk of non-compliance, and potential legal penalties.

Regular updates to compliance practices demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship and can help in maintaining a positive relationship with regulatory agencies. Furthermore, a continuous review allows facilities to identify potential issues before they lead to violations, ensuring that they are always aligned with the current legal framework governing their operations.
