Safety in Design Process

1. Identify Hazards: Spot and document risks early in design.
2. Assess Risks: Analyse likelihood and consequence.
3. Apply Controls: Use elimination, substitution, or engineering solutions.
4. Consult & Document: Engage stakeholders, maintain a Safety in Design register.
5. Review: Continually refine through lessons learned and audits.
