As part of its mandate, the National Energy Board (NEB) regulates the construction, operation, and abandonment of interprovincial and international pipelines. The primary legislation which directly and indirectly addresses reclamation of NEB lines are the National Energy Board Act and the associated Onshore Pipeline Regulations, 1999, and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The NEB uses a life cycle approach to pursue appropriate reclamation of disturbed rights of way. Initially, reclamation related issues are addressed at the application stage. Subsequent to the application process, the actual implementation of reclamation measures occurs during construction of the line. Success of reclamation is monitored during the operational life of a line through inspection and auditing procedures, with additional measures being implemented as necessary.

This article presents the environmental assessment of geopolymer bricks produced from clay and waste bricks. The life cycle approach is the method used in this research to qualify, identify and compare the environmental impacts of geopolymer bricks and fired bricks. The results reveal that the manufacturing process of geopolymer bricks implies for the same compressive strength of fired bricks, a reduction of CO2 emissions by up to 55% for clay-based geopolymer bricks. This research checks the environmental interests of the application of geopolymerization technology in the production of bricks.

Reduction of human error can have a significant impact on the potential for spills and leaks and translate into better safety performance and financial gains for an organization. As important as the technical components of a design, construction, operation, and maintenance program is the human component of the activities being performed. In the Pipeline Industry, human factors can create the potential for a human error at many points along the life cycle of a pipeline. Using a life cycle approach to manage human factors can provide an organization the capability to integrate human factors into programs, standards, procedures and processes using a disciplined approach. This paper reviews the life cycle of a pipeline and identifies areas where the potential for human error can have catastrophic results. Guidance is provided on the development of a human factors life cycle for the organization and illustrates available industry resources as well as opportunities for further research and development.

This paper reviews the ISO 14000 standards, especially the standards on environmental management, life cycle assessment and environmental performance evaluation. It presents examples of how ISO 14000 was implemented in Norwegian shipping and shipbuilding. These examples are the results from a research program in which four shipyards and one shipping company in Norway collaborated with the research foundation More Research. The holistic view and life cycle approach were essential to this research program. The environmental effects related to construction, operation and maintenance of ships were evaluated, and the results were presented by means of environmental performance indicators. The indicators were placed in a three-tier informational structure. Finally, it was demonstrated how the use of ISO 14000 as a complement to ISM can focus the shipping companies ' strategic efforts on areas which may yield the biggest economic returns for the future.
