What is PtD? NIOSH s Definition Prevention through Design (PtD) involves all of the efforts to anticipate and design out hazards to workers in facilities, work methods and operations, processes, equipment, tools, products, materials, new technologies and the organization of work. Potential for PtD to Impact Safety Multiple studies link between 22% and 63% of workplace fatalities to designrelated factors. PtD has been mandatory in the UK since 1994, and it has a construction fatality rate one fifth that of the US. 34 34 McGraw Hill Construction Confidential.

Conclusions Safety practices are overall more widely used than safety policies. The positive impacts of safety have consistently been reported across three studies, demonstrating the payoff of investing in improved safety. Contractors are increasingly seeing that using BIM improves safety. Use of emerging technologies like wearable devices and drones to enhance safety are likely to grow as their safety benefits are demonstrated. Wider use of Prevention through Design by architects will be encouraged by insurance companies and owners (and these are the same groups that can also best encourage increased investments in safety among contractors). Online training is seeing wider acceptance among GCs than trade contractors, and that disparity is likely to grow. Toolbox talks remain the most effective means of communicating about safety. 57 57 McGraw Hill Construction Confidential. All information presented McGraw Hill Construction, 2013.
