Description
The PIP-II Project at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is implementing the Safety by Design process, also called Prevention through Design, to minimize occupational hazards early in the design process. The emphasis is on eliminating hazards and controlling risks to workers “at the source” or as early as possible in the life cycle of equipment, products, or workplaces. The Safety by Design process is a shift in approach for on-the-job safety. It involves evaluating potential risks associated with processes, equipment and structures. It takes into consideration the product life cycle phases from design through disposal and increases the cost-effectiveness of enhancements to occupational safety and health.
An overview of the Safety by Design process and how it is being integrated into the PIP-II Project will be presented.
