Nominations are being accepted for the third annual Prevention Through Design (PTD) award, presented by NIOSH, ASSP and the National Safety Council. The award recognizes individuals, teams, businesses and other organizations that have eliminated or reduced hazards through design or redesign efforts or have contributed to the body of knowledge that enables PTD solutions. PTD involves both a priority and a process: PTD efforts avoid or eliminate hazards with priority given to the top of the hierarchy of controls. PTD efforts also can be a process followed by a multi-disciplinary team that meets to conduct design safety reviews. Nominations will be considered from or for individuals, teams, businesses or other organizations that have developed workplace interventions or research in harmony with the priority or the process of PTD. Nominations should relate to work with recent or continuing impact. Smart and innovative physical designs are important, but so is an effective design safety review process that finds solutions using the combined experience and expertise of all involved disciplines.
