Pre-OMA Audits

Key Benefits of Pre-OMA Audits

• Ensure you are fully prepared for your Operator Monitoring Assessment (OMA)
• Improve your OMA score
• Receive an audit of your site processes including interviews with key personnel

 

What is Pre-OMA Audits?

If your company has an environmental or PPC permit then it may be subject to an Operator Monitoring Assessment (OMA).

An OMA is completed by the Environmental Agency in the first year of a company being granted a permit and every four years if it already has the permit.

The EA recommends a pre-OMA audit to help you identify any monitoring issues that needs improving before your OMA assessment. If you perform poorly and end up with a poor OMA score your company could be fined.

What to Expect
