  • The lifecycle perspective extends controls to design, procurement, contractors, and communicating requirements externally.
  • Operational controls include SOPs, preventive maintenance, contractor pre-qualification, and supplier conduct requirements.
  • Operational controls translate significant aspects into daily work practices that prevent environmental harm.
