About t
his presentation
Following on from a
COMAH environmental risk assessment\, it is often found that the risk is t
olerable if As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). \; A study is th
erefore required to demonstrate the risk is ALARP. \; This should incl
ude potential further risk reduction measures and determine which of these
are reasonable to implement. \; The decision is often based on engine
ering judgement and operational feasibility. \; Where this is not poss
ible\, a cost benefit analysis (CBA) can be used in support of a decision.
 \; One element of a CBA is the cost of environmental damage (or value
of preventing it)\, which requires assigning an economic value to the env
ironment. There is currently no guidance or consistency regarding how to g
o about assigning monetary values to Major Accidents to the Environment (M
ATTEs). \; Therefore\, the Energy Institute has commissioned a project
aimed at defining a set of values (e.g. for diff
erent MATTE level consequences to different environmental receptors). 
\; Ultimately\, a guidance document will be produced for risk assessors\,
to inform and justify decisions on any financial values used in cost benef
it analyses focussing on the environment. \; This presentation provide
s background to and an overview of progress on this project.
