How the work is controlled once it is planned: the hazards assessed before anyone starts, the substances handled on site and in the yard, and the supply chain the work depends on. This section answers Clause 8 of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

What sits here and what does not

This section holds the operational controls: what has been assessed, what is held and how it is handled, and who supplies AMWS. How a job is planned, permitted, briefed and delivered is in Procedures. The registers that record the results are in Registers. Competence and communication are in Support.
