PtD encompasses all of the efforts to anticipate and design out hazards to workers in facilities, work methods and operations, processes, equipment, tools, products, new technologies, and the organization of work. The focus of PtD is on workers who execute the designs or have to work with the products of the design. The initiative has been developed to support designing out hazards, the most reliable and effective type of prevention.

A one-day meeting on the topic of PtD will be held Friday, September 27, 2019 at New York University
in Brooklyn, NY.  For more information and to register, visit https://www.agcnys.org/wp-content/uploads/Prevention-Through-Design-final.pdf.
