Agenda
• Define Prevention through Design• 2011 Design for Safety and Health Contest• NIOSH PtD Education Outreach
Worker Safety and Health• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
[http://osha.gov/]– Part of the Department of Labor– Assures safe and healthful workplaces– Sets and enforces standards – Provides training, outreach, education, and assistance– State regulations possibly more stringent
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) [http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/]– Part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention– Conducts research and makes recommendations for the prevention of work‐related injury and illness

Number of deaths per 100,000 full-time workers
Death from Injury
Rate of work‐related deaths from injuries, selected construction occupations, 2003–2009 average
Full‐time is defined as 2,000 hours worked per year.Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2003–2009 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and Current Population Survey. Calculations by the CPWR Data Center.

Businessvalue
Integrating occupational safety and health into the capital project design process
Stage Activities
Conceptual design Establish occupational safety and health goals, identify occupational hazards
Preliminary design Eliminate hazards, if possible; substitute less hazardous agents/processes; establish risk minimization targets for remaining hazards; assess risk; and develop risk control alternatives
Detailed design Select controls; conduct process hazard reviews
Procurement Develop specifications and include in procurements; develop “checks and tests” for factory acceptance testing and commissioning
Construction Construction site safety and contractor safety
Commissioning Conduct “checks and tests,” including factory acceptance; pre–start up safety reviews; development of SOPs; risk/exposure assessment; and management of residual risks
Start up and occupancy
Education, management of change, modification of SOPs
Why Prevention through Design?
• Construction dangers
• Design‐related safety issues
• Ethical reasons
• Practical benefits
• Financial and non‐financial benefits
PtD Applies to Constructability
• How reasonable is the design?
– Cost– Duration– Quality– Safety

Business Value of PtD
• Anticipate worker exposures—be proactive
• Align health and safety goals with business goals
• Modify designs to reduce/eliminate workplace hazards in:
Facilities EquipmentTools ProcessesProducts Work flows
Improve business profitability!
AIHA [http://www.ihvalue.org/]
Benefits of PtD• Reduced site hazards and thus fewer injuries
• Reduced workers’ compensation insurance costs
• Increased productivity
• Fewer delays due to accidents
• Increased designer‐constructor collaboration
• Reduced absenteeism
• Improved morale
• Reduced employee turnover
