Also called “Prevention Through Design” or “Design for Safety,” the concepts aim to eliminate hazards as early as possible during a project (i.e. during the concept and design phases) to reduce safety risks. These improvements could reduce the likelihood of injury or death, as well as avoid their associated costs, project delays, and other negative consequences. Studies have shown that many injuries and fatalities can be attributed to design decisions or a lack of planning, often before work at the site begins. Safety by Design adjusts the timing, improves the level of focus, and increases collaboration to potentially eliminate certain risks and hazards. Furthermore, it offers a return on investment to the “triple bottom line” through sustainability of people, profit, and the planet.
