Safety In Design

http://www.safetyindesign.org/

Just a reminder of this valuable information site for designers

SiD - Safety in Design Ltd is a not for profit company that exists to support designers in the built environment. It is by industry and for industry.

The following is posted on their web site:

“ FEEDBACK - All the speakers at the recent CIRIA  “Designers Dilemmas” workshop on the 8th October spoke against numerical design risk assessments and HSE confirmation of this was also provided. Want to know more? Sign up for the newsletter now! Want to comment? Do so on the Discussion Forum.”

I have signed up for their newsletter and will pass this round to all.

The CIRIA workshop confirms what we have all suspected for some time. I will be suggesting we review our own procedures in order to try to make them simpler, however, risk does need to be assessed & evaluated for hazards identified in order for appropriate responses to be made.

In the meantime, everybody’s views welcome.
