• Description:
  The keynote presentation focuses on honest conversations on the value of Prevention through Design (PtD) including case histories here in the US and overseas. Blunt examples of how several current practices provide "killing conditions" to workers and owners long after construction is done are discussed. How firms can use PtD to increase efficiency and, indeed, profit while realizing a safer project by default is demonstrated. An emphasis is placed on how Ptd not only supports a "safety thing" but also a good business practice. The presentation is supported with numerous examples of PtD applications that firms have already incorporated leveraging the need for their competitors to step up and embrace a philosophy to succeed. A video of this presentation is available here. [Description provided by NIOSH]
