Reform of company inspections at national and regional level

Introducing risk-based methodology to inspection and documentary controls in various business areas such as environmental, food, construction

General information

The production of rules must be guided by the principle of proportionality, assessing the nature and extent of risks and impacts, in order to concentrate resources and efforts where they are highest.

In cooperation with the OECD, the Province has joined an EU project (Rating audit control (RAC)"-"Reform of inspection controls in Italy at national and regional level") that supports the introduction of the 'risk based' methodology to make inspection and documentary controls more efficient and effective

The "risk based" methodology adapts inspections to the complexity of the practice, the project, the subject to be controlled, concentrating resources on the essential elements with respect to the public purpose and on the situations most at risk, with objective and scientifically valid methodologies.

The risk analysis and impact assessment methodologies direct the verification on the elements and variables of the practice that are most important for the effective protection of the public interest.

Some of the areas involved in the project are:

  • Environmental protection
  • Food safety
  • Construction

The construction sector sees several important initiatives. Work is being done to improve site inspections (OCEPAT system), but also to simplify building practices. In cooperation with the PNRR expert group, the Consortium of Municipalities and a number of pilot municipalities, we are developing some risk and complexity criteria that can be used by municipalities when processing building permit applications (Building Permit, SCIA; CILA) in order to work on them in a more streamlined manner.

Goals

The OECD works with various PAT structures to propose new methodologies in the controls carried out by the various structures and a new approach to control, developing different types of tools, including

- checklists with useful elements for carrying out checks;
- risk and complexity criteria;
- management systems for reports received, files, workloads
- reasoned programming of the control sample
