Environmental Incidents

Environmental incidents can result in environmental damage (polluting of rivers, lakes, air, land etc) and non-compliance with legal and BBC requirements. There are different classifications of environmental incidents as follows:
  • Breach of limits/licence conditions (water abstraction licences or water discharge consents)
  • Oil and chemical storage (Oil for temporary generators/catering oil)
  • Spillage and spillage response
  • Waste storage and disposal (Rubbish bins and rubbish collectors)
  • Serious public or other complaint (Noise, light, smoke, fumes or odours)
  • Water abstraction and disposal
  • Third parties and supply chain
  • Smoke, fumes and odours
  • Natural environment and wildlife
  • Light nuisance
  • Noise nuisance

Environmental incidents must be logged within myRisks Tools.  There is a possibility that an investigation maybe conducted into why the incident occurred resulting in action tracking and the review of risk assessments.

Any environmental incident which occurs will draw attention from the enforcement agencies (e.g. Environment Agency (England and Wales), Scottish Environment Protection Agency or the Environment and Heritage Service in Northern Ireland). For this reason all visits must be reported to BBC Safety.
