Les installations classées

The notion of "listed site" is only known by the people who have to deal with such companies (employees, law workers, residents...). It consists in a special disposition of the law that allows to warn and supervise environmentally sensitive companies (worksites, quarries, farms, factories...). It may be pointed out that it is the industrial sector which turns out to be more problematic. The first ruling goes as for back as 1810, but it?s the ruling of 1976 which remains a reference nowadays in a sense that it comes to complete and enlarge the whole purview. These regulations have set a regularly updated nomenclature of listed companies. The control of the listed sites as well as the enforcement of the law executed by inspectors who belong to the civil service. But the listed sites are naturally also left to the supervision of the companies managers. If they don't comply with the inspectors' requests, they expose themselves to penal or adminsitrative sanctions.
