COMAH MATTE Assessments
Operators of COMAH sites have a critical responsibility to take all necessary steps to prevent or mitigate any potential Major Accidents To The Environment (MATTE). To ensure compliance with COMAH regulations, it is essential to conduct an Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) using the Chemical and Downstream Oil Industries Forum (CDOIF) guidance. This guidance document, ‘Environmental Risk Tolerability for COMAH Establishments’, has been recognised by the COMAH Competent Authority as the benchmark standard
Our environmental consultants are experienced in the CDOIF methodology, having supported a number of our COMAH clients in a range of industrial sectors through their assessments since the implementation of the CDOIF guidance document.
