Safe Design Australia
Our team of work health and safety consultants and risk managers operate throughout Australia and New Zealand to help designers meet their work health and safety legal duties in relation to safe design, including CPTED principles. We understand that good design is important and believe that safety in design can be achieved without compromising the design intent. Our clients include architects, building designers, developers, design and construct companies, principal contractors, engineers and local government.

The ‘Not Boring Safe Design Course’
Let’s be honest — no-one gets excited about safety. There’s certainly very little enthusiasm for Safe Design.
But…
What if it wasn’t boring?
What if it didn’t need to be more work?
What if it wasn’t going to defile award-winning work?
Safe Design integrates workplace health and safety principles into the planning, design and construction process to minimise risks across a project’s lifecycle.
Safety in Design helps architects, engineers and developers improve WHS compliance, reduce hazards, prevent costly incidents and create safer, more efficient buildings and infrastructure projects across Australia.
Safe Design principles support WHS compliance, hazard identification, risk management and safer construction practices while helping organisations meet Australian Work Health and Safety Act and Regulation obligations. WHS legislation in Australia outlines the legal responsibilities to eliminate or minimise workplace health and safety risks throughout a structure’s lifecycle.
CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) uses urban planning, architectural design and environmental management principles to reduce crime and improve public safety.
CPTED strategies improve surveillance, access control and community safety through proactive Safety in Design and risk management.
