What is a COMAH MATTE Assessment?
COMAH, from an environmental point of view, requires operators to demonstrate that they have taken all measures necessary to prevent or mitigate the impact of Major Accidents To The Environment (MATTE).
Environmental Risk Assessments (ERA) for COMAH sites should now be carried out using the CDOIF guidance. The COMAH Competent Authority considers the CDOIF (Chemical and Downstream Oil Industries Forum) guidance document ‘Environmental Risk Tolerability for COMAH Establishments’ to be a benchmark standard and expects that COMAH sites consider the CDOIF guidance when carrying out or reviewing their ERAs.
