Odour Management Plans

Odour management plans are bespoke to the process being assessed, however the common themes we will discuss with your business when developing your plan include:

All potential odour sources identified
Site visits to confirm sources/assess (if needed)
Assessment of odour impact
Review of operational processes/practices and operator training
Review of equipment maintenance schedules and recording
Review of on-site measures taking place to minimise odourous emissions having an effect outside the site boundary
Review of the ‘risk of unplanned odour release’ incidents and policy
Recommendations to improve site facilities when taking into account odour potential and potential impacts
