16、nse from IHS-,-,-FOREWORD This standard was developed to provide consistent procedures for addressing occupational hazards and risks in the design and redesign processes, and to replace Technical Report ASSE TR-Z790.001 2009. In the late 1990s, the Advisory Committee of the Institute for Safety thro
17、ugh Design at the National Safety Council concluded that significant benefits will be derived if decisions affecting safety, health and the environment are integrated into the early stages of the design and redesign processes. The benefits noted were: Significant reductions will be achieved in injur
18、ies, illnesses and damage to property and the environment, and their attendant costs. Productivity will be improved. Operating costs will be reduced. Expensive retrofitting to correct design shortcomings will be avoided. Developments since then have given additional importance and credence to manage
19、ment, design engineers and safety and health professionals having knowledge of the principles and practices applied in addressing occupational risks in the design and redesign processes. For example, there has been a more frequent inclusion of provisions in safety standards and guidelines requiring
20、that hazards and risks be addressed in the design and redesign processes. This standard is related to, and provides assistance in, fulfilling those requirements. Another development supports the need for this standard. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) held a workshop
21、 in July 2007 to obtain the views of a variety of stakeholders on a major National initiative to “create a sustainable national strategy for Prevention through Design.” Some participants in that workshop expressed the view that the long-term impact of the NIOSH initiative could be “transformative,”
22、meaning that a fundamental paradigm shift could occur resulting in greater emphasis being given to the higher and more effective decision levels in the hierarchy of controls. For this initiative, the NIOSH Mission is: To reduce the risk of occupationally related injuries, illnesses, fatalities and e
23、xposures by including prevention considerations in all designs that affect individuals in the occupational environment. This NIOSH initiative is based on its stated premise: “One of the best ways to prevent and control occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities is to design out and minimize haz
24、ards and risks early in the design process.” Enthusiasm for additional knowledge of prevention through design principles and practices was significant. Several attendees at the workshop said that a guideline, regulation or standard is needed that sets forth the principles and the methodologies to ad
25、dress hazards and risks in the Copyright American Society of Safety Engineers Provided by IHS under license with ASSE/SAFE Licensee=CHINA STDS INFORMATION CENTER - avada indx app by/5954931001, User=ZhaoNot for Resale, 05/02/2012 01:24:33 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license fr
26、om IHS-,-,-design and redesign processes. Technical Report Z790 temporarily addressed those needs. This standard refines, expands and replaces the content of the Technical Report. One of the most significant subjects discussed at the July 2007 workshop was the need to incorporate design concepts per
27、taining to occupational hazards and risks into academic curricula for all disciplines because of the recognition that few curricula include segments on addressing hazards and risks in the design and redesign processes. This standard also is in concert with the stated intent of the American Society o
28、f Safety Engineers, in a Position Paper that was approved by the Board of Directors in 1994 to promote acquisition of knowledge of and application of “Designing For Safety” concepts. The opening paragraph of that Paper reads as follows. Designing for Safety (DFS) is a principle for design planning f
29、or new facilities, equipment, and operations (public and private) to conserve human and natural resources, and thereby protect people, property and the environment. DFS advocates systematic process to ensure state-of-the-art engineering and management principles are used and incorporated into the de
30、sign of facilities and overall operations to assure safety and health of workers, as well as protection of the environment and compliance with current codes and standards. In August 2007, the ASSE Engineering Practice Specialty group within the American Society of Safety Engineers published an artic
31、le in a Special Issue of its Newsletter “By Design,” the title of which was “Prevention through Design: Addressing Occupational Risks in the Design and Redesign Processes.” This article, by Fred A. Manuele, CSP, P.E., was also published in the October 2008 issue of Professional Safety. That article
32、formed an early basis for the Z790.001-2009 technical report, and now this standard. On September 23, 2008, NIOSH held a “Kick-off meeting” with respect to its initiative on Prevention through Design. One of the action items discussed was to: “Develop and approve a broad generic voluntary consensus
33、standard on Prevention through Design that is aligned with international design activities and practice.” That gave impetus for ASSE to consider further immediate action that resulted in the development of its Technical Report and this standard. The continuum of similar initiatives is also important
34、 as cited in the two references below. Namely, ANSI/AIHA Z10, the Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems standard sets a benchmark provision requiring that processes be in place “to identify and take appropriate steps to prevent or otherwise control hazards and reduce risks associated wit
35、h new processes or operations at the design stage.” Z10 also states that “The design review should consider all aspects including design, construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.” Several stakeholders have pointed out that Z10 states what needed to be done, but more information nee
36、ds to be provided on how to meet its performance requirements. Secondly, the OSHA Alliance Construction Roundtable developed a video training program titled “Design for Construction Safety” to reduce construction injuries by incorporating features in the design stage of a construction project that m
37、ake a building or structure safer to build and maintain.

38、rmitted without license from IHS-,-,-On November 18, 2008, the ASSE Standards Development Committee discussed further developing the paper published by ASSE into a technical report or a standard. A decision was made by the committee to consider further immediate action that resulted in developing a
39、Technical Report and then this standard Several standards and guidelines were used as references in the preparation of this standard. Particular note is made of the several versions of MIL-STD 882, the Department of Defense, Standard Practice for System Safety. Requirements in the standard are ident
40、ified by the word “shall.” An organization that chooses to conform to this standard is expected to fulfill those “shall” requirements. Explanatory comments and recommended practices preceded by the word “Note” are informative and not requirements of the standard. Also, addenda are informative and ar
41、e not normative requirements of the standard. Revisions: The Z590.3 Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this standard. Revisions are made periodically (usually five years from the date of the standard) to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by experience
42、 gained from the application of the standard. Proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the relevant paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and the reason for the proposal. Pertinent documentation would enable the Z590.3 Committee to process the changes in a timelier manner. Interpreta
43、tions: Upon a request in writing to the Secretariat, the Z590.3 Committee will render an interpretation of any part of the standard. The request for interpretation should be clear, citing the relevant paragraph number(s) and phrased as a request for a clarification of a specific requirement. Oral in
44、terpretations are not provided. No one but ASSE is authorized to provide any interpretation of this standard. This standard is effective 90 days after the publishing of this standard. The committee recognizes that some period of time after the approval of this document is necessary for organizations
45、, suppliers and users to develop new designs and/or modify existing standards or procedures in order to incorporate the new and/or revised requirements of this standard into their operations. The committee recommends that entities that choose to adopt this standard begin implementing the requirement
46、s within 12 months of the approval date. Approval: Neither ASSE nor the Z590.3 Committee approves, certifies, rates or endorses any item, construction, proprietary device or activity. Committee Meetings: Persons wishing to attend a meeting of the Z590.3 Committee should contact the Secretariat for i
47、nformation. Standard Approval: This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the American National Standards Committee on Prevention through Design, Z590.3. Approval of the standard does not necessarily imply (nor is it required) that all Committee members voted for its approval.
