- Including EHS teams during initial facility design and layout decisions to identify potential hazards and challenges before construction begins
- Embedding EHS compliance check throughout construction to verify that EHS in design plans are being implemented correctly
- Establishing a continuous feedback loop where safety lessons learned on current facilities inform future design improvements to ensure evolving standards for safer operations
