WE - General
Working Environment (WE) activities should be carried out in all project phases. In early stages (concept definition, FEED) lack of design details will be the limiting factor and experience transfer is then important input. As the concept matures and the project proceeds, more details will be available, and the WE activities can be performed and documented with less uncertainty.
