b a b a b a c a b b b d Safety through design is defined as the integration of hazard analysis and risk assessment methods early in the design and engineering stages and the taking of the actions necessary so that the risks of injury or damage are at an acceptable level. This concept encompasses facilities, hardware, equipment, tooling, materials, layout and configurations, energy controls, environmental concerns, and products.
“Upstream” includes all aspects of the origination of business concepts, the relative decision making, and the design process, during which the greatest effectiveness can be achieved in hazard avoidance, elimination, or control.
Student might mention the following: Significant reduction will be achieved in injuries, illnesses, damage to the environment, and their attendant costs; productivity will be improved; operating costs will be reduced; and expensive retrofitting to correct design shortcomings will be avoided.
Risk is defined as a measure of the probability of a hazards-related incident occurring and the severity of harm or damage that could result. Safety is defined as the state in which the risks are deemed acceptable.
A risk assessment is an analysis that addresses both the probability of a hazards-related incident occurring and the expected severity of its adverse effects.
Answers might include the following: padding low overheads, rounding corners, using ergonomically designed tools.
