| Inclinations, either recognized or unconcious, that can rise out of past experience | |
| Documents that define minimum standards, normally under force of law, for the performance of an engineering design | |
| Ensuring that project objectives are met by monitoring and measuring progress and taking corrective action when necessary | |
| A comparison of benefits gained versus costs incurred | |
| Passive measures designed into the work environment to prevent contact with potential hazards | |
