Abstract :
This study reviews the scope and potential impact that the prevention through design (PtD) initiative sponsored by the U.S. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) could have on electrical safety. It also describes some of the key learnings and recommended actions from the July 2007 workshop held in Washington, DC, to launch this initiative. Opportunities to help assure electrical safety benefits from this initiative are outlined.
