• Description:
  Prevention through Design (PtD) incorporates construction worker safety in the design of a building project. Researchers interviewed and surveyed respondents employed by construction owners to assess construction owners' awareness of PtD, and to learn how they applied PtD elements in their projects. The researchers employed a mixed-methods design, performing in-depth case studies at four firms followed by a nationwide survey to confirm that responses at the four firms reflected larger industry trends.
