Lois et instruments réglementaires
Notre mission est de responsabiliser l’industrie. Nous veillons à ce que les opérateurs respectent les règles et les exigences établies par la législation.
Nous appliquons les règles et les exigences contenues dans la législation afin de garantir que les ressources énergétiques de la zone extracôtière Canada-Nouvelle-Écosse soient exploitées de manière responsable tout en protégeant ce qui compte : la santé et la sécurité des travailleurs extracôtiers et de l'environnement. Pour mieux définir et expliquer nos attentes en matière de conformité à ces règles et exigences, nous élaborons et publions un certain nombre d'instruments réglementaires de soutien tels que des lignes directrices, des directives et des avis. De plus, notre chef de la sécurité peut exiger que les exploitants élaborent ou suivent des codes de pratique. Ces instruments réglementaires nous aident à nous assurer que les exploitants connaissent et respectent leurs obligations législatives.
Afin d'assurer une coordination efficace et d'éviter la duplication des travaux et des activités, nous avons conclu un certain nombre de protocoles d'entente et d'accords avec d'autres ministères et organismes gouvernementaux. Cela nous permet notamment de tirer parti de la vaste expertise qui existe au sein du secteur public pour nous assurer de prendre les meilleures décisions réglementaires.
Apprenez-en davantage sur la législation et les différents types d’instruments réglementaires que nous utilisons ci-dessous.
Les lois, qui comprennent les lois, sont élaborées par le gouvernement du Canada et le gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Écosse et établissent les règles et les exigences que nous mettons en œuvre et appliquons en ce qui concerne les activités énergétiques dans la zone extracôtière Canada-Nouvelle-Écosse.
