Safety In Design Advice – Manage Damage

Legal SID Requirements with Design & Construct Structures

Organisations must consider when designing structures temporary or permanent – all the phases in the lifecycle of an item of plant from manufacture through use, to dismantling and disposal.

Design for safe manufacture, build, delivery, erection & install
Design to facilitate safe use by considering the users
Consider intended use & reasonably foreseeable misuse.
Consider the difficulties workers may face when maintaining or repairing the structure
Consider types of failure or malfunction and design the structure to fail in a safe manner.
Designers must have a good understanding of the lifecycle of the item they are
designing, including the needs of users and the environment in which that item may be used.

The law has requirements for:

Designers of Plant
Designers of buildings & structures
Persons with control of workplaces
Manufacturers, Importers & Suppliers of Structures
Persons who Install, Erect or Make any Changes to Structures

Responsibilities for Safe Design can be reviewed in:

Guidance on the principles of safe design for work,
the Principles of Good Work Design Handbook,
the Model Code of Practice: Safe Design of Structures and
WHS Regulations and
all the CoP below referenced

Each state and territory has these duties with very minor variances.

Our Approach – Recommended Approach for Review

We recommend a review against the Legislations, Code of Practice and actual practices by state.

Step 1: Safety In Design Risk Identification & Initial Desktop Review of the Business Systems and Processes

We review your workplace settings and consider the Safety in Design Risks for your workplace and create a Safety in Design Risk Register

We would conduct Review of the Business Systems and Processes relating to the required guides and codes by state whilst also reviewing the obligations in other states against the same processes;

Review Current Practices by Design Teams

Understand the Interrelationships

Understand the Interrelationships from Design to External Consultant Teams

Understand the Interrelationship from Design to Construction Teams

Understand the Interrelationships from Design to Internal Project Teams & State Operations Leaders

Understand the Interrelationships from Design to Internal Manufacturing Teams

Understand the Interrelationships from Design to External Clients

Understand the Subcontractor Design Selection Process

Understand the Licence, Skill & Activities by Design Team & External Consultants

Understand Access to Standards and Codes

Understand legal compliance

Understand legal non compliance

Understand current design life considerations

Understand buildabilty knowledge of design team relative to customer battery limits

Understand visibility on post design against accountability

Understand design team level of oversight & influence on manufacturing – in house or external

Step 2: Risk Assessment for Each Factors found required from Step 1

Step 3: Recommendation for Improvements & Risk Reduction Recommendation

Review of current Business Risk associated with Safety in Design Hazards – Review and Interview with Related Parties in Design & Construct Team
