Design for Safety

Design for Safety is a proactive approach in creating products, systems, or environments that prioritize minimizing risks and preventing accidents before they happen. It involves identifying potential hazards early and implementing features or procedures—such as safety guards, clear instructions, and fail-safes—to protect users and operators. The goal is to make safety an integral part of the design process, ensuring that the final outcome is inherently safer, reducing the likelihood of harm and promoting a secure experience without relying solely on user vigilance or external safeguards.
