Designing out workplace hazards through a national Prevention through Design (PtD) strategy is key to preventing occupational injuries. This initiative focuses on practice, policy, research, and education across economic sectors.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Safety and Health
  • Industrial Hygiene
  • Risk Management

Background:

  • The most effective method for preventing workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities is to eliminate hazards at the design stage.
  • Historically, safety design has been prioritized for the general public more than for workers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a comprehensive national strategy for implementing a Prevention through Design (PtD) Initiative.
  • To outline key areas and sectors for focused action within the PtD initiative.

Main Methods:

  • The paper outlines the Prevention through Design (PtD) initiative.
  • It identifies four key areas for action: practice, policy, research, and education.
  • Stakeholder input will be gathered across eight economic sector divisions.

Main Results:

  • The initiative is structured around practice, policy, research, and education.
  • Eight economic sectors will be targeted for focused implementation efforts.
  • A seven-year strategy is planned to guide the initiative's rollout.

Conclusions:

  • A national Prevention through Design (PtD) strategy is essential for enhancing worker safety.
  • The initiative provides a framework for integrating safety into workplace design across various sectors.
  • Collaboration and targeted actions in practice, policy, research, and education are crucial for success.
