Answer:

The most important is that you identified and evaluated environmental aspects. For those aspects that you determined as significant, you need to establish operational controls. The controls can be:
- administrative - meaning that you need to place signs or to develop work instructions or procedures,
- engineering - meaning that you will introduce some new technology or change your processes to decrease impact on the environment.

Examples of operational controls are work instructions for waste disposal or installation of filters to decrease polluting gases emission.
