This document concerns the regulatory oversight and governance of high-hazard industrial activities. A complex set of laws, regulations and institutions contribute to the social control of these activities, reinforcing and serving as a complement to the risk prevention mechanisms put in place by operating companies. This document focuses in particular on the relationships between regulated firms, regulatory authorities and third party intermediaries who play a role in safety oversight (certification bodies, auditors, insurers, Professional associations, etc.) and the impact of the quality of these relationships on industrial safety. The scope is the  prevention of major accident hazards in different industry sectors (process industry, transport, energy), in France and at an international level.
