NIOSH Prevention through Design Workshop

NIOSH and partners will hold a workshop on July 9-11 in Washington DC, to launch a national initiative to promote the widespread adoption of Prevention through Design (PtD) principles.

PtD can be defined as addressing occupational safety and health needs in the design process to prevent or minimize the work-related hazards and risks associated with the construction, manufacture, use, maintenance, and disposal of facilities, materials, and equipment. Further details on PtD and the workshop can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/ptd
