Principle1 People with control Safe design is everyone’s responsibility – ensuring safe
design rests with all parties influencing the design of a building
or structure.
1. Introduction & Approach to Safety in Design
Principle 2 The life cycle Safe design employs life cycle concepts – applying to every
phase in the life cycle of a building or structure, from conception
through to redevelopment and demolition.
1.1 Project Overview
This report has been prepared as part of the detail design and documentation of the proposed Tuggerah Regional Sporting and Principle 3 Risk management Safe design implements risk management – through

Through the design process a number of risks have been identified, particularly in regards to the design of the roads and vehicular
movement adjacent to the development, and the potential conflict with a large number of pedestrians.
Principle 4 Knowledge & capability Safe design requires knowledge and capability – which

• Safety for users of the amenities building.
• Examples of existing similar situations in other Council areas within the jurisdiction of the WHS Act, demonstrating that
similar procedures to that proposed are already in place.
• The steps taken to reduce the associated risks through the design process. Table 1: Principles of Safe Design
The Safety in Design matrix at the end of this document highlights the shared obligation of the designer and Council in managing
risk associated with their work systems.
The implementation of safe building design requires a thorough understanding of the WHS issues associated with each stage of a
building’s life cycle. These life cycle stages are summarised as below:
1.2 Background • Concept / schematic development

The proposed development has been designed to potentially accommodate a large number of participants and spectators. • Detailed design

• Building maintenance & repair
1.3 What is Safety in Design (SiD) • Renovation &/or modification
• Demolition or demobilisation
Safety in Design (SiD) is a process defined as the integration of hazard identification and risk assessment methods early in
the design process to eliminate or minimise health and safety risks throughout the life of the product being designed.
Designers can achieve Safety in Design through a structured approach to identifying hazards & risks associated with the design. By
employing recognised risk management strategies, risks to users of a facility can be eliminated or significantly reduced through 1.4 Harmonised National Workplace Health & Safety
mitigation strategies and the implementation of design solutions based on risk assessments.
A sound approach to SiD includes assessment of risks during key phases of the design development, development of risk control As of the 1st of January 2012, the new harmonised National Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) legislation came into effect. As of

The Code of Practice for Safe Design of Buildings and Structures developed by WorkCover NSW identifies five key principles for safe legislation. VIC has stated that it supports the principle of harmonisation but will not implement model WHS laws in their current
design. Table 1: Principles of Safe Design demonstrates these principles. form. The WHS model sets out new Codes of Practice aiming to regulate all the existing laws throughout the country, and create
a more consistent Work Health and Safety standard for all Australian employers and workers.

It is recommended that the SiD Report be passed onto any participant in the project who may extend the design or further develop

via this process.
As building design impacts on the overall safety of a completed facility and often plays a significant role in determining operational
WHS within the built environment, the SiD process must be seen as an essential element in achieving best practice outcomes.
Employing the SiD process should result in minimisation of illness and injury to contractors, end users operating the facility, and
facilities staff maintaining the building.
Further to this, the SiD process presents positive commercial outcomes for designers, contractors and clients alike. The cost
associated with unsafe design can be generated through the need to retrofit additional building infrastructure, inefficient operations,
higher insurance premiums, and potentially litigation or civil action. It is substantially more economical to eliminate workplace safety
hazards through the implementation of a structured risk management process during the design phase.

STEP 1: Discuss the project

The design team and client representative involved in the development of the design must collaboratively plan
2. Safety in Design Methodology and discuss the project to ensure the exchange of information. The designers and client must identify all operations
to take place in and around the facility to ensure the design can be tailored to the operational requirements.
These discussions will also help to identify the potential hazards and risk associated with the intended operations.

2.1 Safe Design Process STEP 2: Identify key stakeholders

The project team is to identify additional project stakeholders for inclusion in the consultation process. The

STEP 4: Prepare a risk and solutions register

STEPS DELIVERY OF SAFE DESIGN The design team should conduct a preliminary risk analysis in consultation with key project stakeholders. The
intention of this step is to identify all conceivable risks and hazards that are relevant to the facility and its intended
1 Discuss the project operations. All risks and hazards will be recorded in the risk register.
Once all risks and hazards have been identified, the design team is to identify the likelihood and consequence
associated with the risk. Commonly this is achieved through a quantitative assessment to establish a risk ranking.
2 Identify key stakeholders See section 3 of this report for the approach to risk assessment.
Once the risks are assessed the design team will develop solutions to each of the risks to either eliminate or
mitigate the effect of the risk. Each solution will be documented in the risk register. See Section 5 of this report for
3 Determine the consultation process instructions on the risk assessment process.

4 Prepare a risk and solutions register STEP 5: Prepare an initial report to the client
On completion of the risk assessment, a report to the client will be prepared to identify the intended design
solutions for review and approval.
5 Prepare an initial report to the client

STEP 6: Amend and finalise the design

Based on the client’s review and acceptance of the report, the design is to be updated in alignment with the
6 Amend and finalise the design
documented strategies.

7 Provide a final report to the client STEP 7: Provide a final report to the client and principle contractor
On completion of the design, a final SiD report is to be prepared and issued to the client and principle contractor
for construction. It is recommended that the final SiD report be passed onto the facility occupant to contribute to
their development of safe work practices and procedures.
8 Review the design
The report must identify any residual risk, so that further operational controls can be developed by the facility
operator.

STEP 8: Review the design

As design development in certain projects continues into the construction phase through the development of
workshop drawings and contractor proposed alternatives, it is important that any risk controls potentially affected
by these elements are re-assessed. Furthermore, if additional information with regard to facility operations
becomes available post completion of the design documentation, further assessment and development of controls
may be necessary.

3.2 Type of Risk

discussed regularly at design meetings, and through planned workshops to ensure key decision making and design development is
cognisant of the necessary risk controls required to deliver safe design.
B Buildability
The risk management process includes four key stages to developing and maintaining safe outcomes. These stages are described
below and further represented in Figure 1: Risk Management Process. O Operability

S Security
• Hazard identification – identification of potential hazardous situations that could result in injury or illness.

• Risk assessment – assessment of how likely the risk is and the associated consequence if the hazard occurs.

• Risk elimination / control – elimination or control of the risk through planned strategies and mitigation measures. 3.3 Hierarchy of Controls
• Evaluation and review – recurring review of risk controls and mitigation measures to ensure they remain current and
The two key definitions of risk controls are as follows:
appropriate.
Static controls – the physical components and electronic systems that form part of the built facility that will be handed over to the
end user. These controls are the responsibility of the project team, including the subcontractors, the architects, the
engineering designers and other sub-consultants on the project.
Dynamic controls – the administrative procedures to be implemented by the ‘tenant’ during the operation of the facility.

Risk mitigation strategies that form the outcome of the SiD process can be characterised by the following hierarchy of controls
shown in the Table 3: Hierarchy of Controls. The name ‘hierarchy of controls’ emphasises that elimination of a risk will always be
preferred to mitigation or reduction strategies where achievable.
