Design for Safety (DfS) is one of a few remaining means that can minimise and mitigate safety and health risks of buildings and structures. Design phase is the earliest opportunity to incorporate safety into a project. This concept should be carried through to the pre-tender, tender, construction, maintenance and demolition phase. Just as productivity can be increased with early planning and assimilation throughout the process.
