Speaker: Mark Ogg

Presentation:

Safety goes beyond just construction of a facility. It involves those who visit, work in, operate, and maintain those facilities as well. Safety is an element that is part of the entire facility life cycle. Come learn the importance of designing and constructing to maintain requirements for facility performance. Designing for safety can eliminate the potential for hazards, reduce costs caused by retrofitting after the completion of design, and allow for the sustainable and safe operation and maintenance of a facility.

We’ll explore processes to get the right information from the right stakeholders, and how to manage that information through design so facilities have all the right components to operate safely - not only for their employees and visitors, but for the operation and sustainability of the facility itself.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define Prevention through Design (PtD), including what it is and why it is important.
2. Recognize how PtD is applied during the project delivery process, how it is linked to sustainability, and the challenges industry professionals
3. Apply tools and work processes that assist in designing for safety.
4. Discuss current industry applications and their impacts based on actual case studies.

Learning Units will be provided: Yes (AIA LU)
