Safety in design - How to ensure that safety matters in water treatment plant design
Annual Conference
❄
This study reviews the approach to safety in design within the New Zealand health and safety framework and compares it to that adopted in the UK, USA and Australia. Health and safety statistics from the construction and water industries in New Zealand indicate that there is a need for a holistic review of our health and safety system, and with overseas evidence suggesting an intrinsic link between project design and the number of health and safety incidents that occur, it is recommended that safety in design be a key strategic initiative moving forward.
