9 GPCP Safety In Design Rev 0_5_21_07.ppt Designer Influence on Health and Safety Designers are uniquely placed to influence standards of health and safety achieved during construction and, subsequently, during cleaning, maintenance and repair - when some 50% of fatal accidents currently occur, often related to earlier design decisions - and demolition. Designers also have opportunities to influence the health and safety of those who use the structures they have designed. Health & Safety Executive (UK)

10 GPCP Safety In Design Rev 0_5_21_07.ppt Increased Cost  1996 CII: $17 Billion per year for injuries and fatalities  Increased insurance premiums  Claim costs are a misery indicator  Economics at multiple levels is a driver for enthusiasm for Safety Management There is no shame in getting the right results for the wrong reasons
