In the realm of engineering and construction, a robust strategy for ensuring safe design is paramount. To achieve this, it is essential to implement the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 in a practical and efficient manner within any project. In their comprehensive book, "An Effective Strategy for Safe Design," safety and risk professionals David England and Dr. Andy Painting delve into the intricate details of the design process, encompassing everything from the initial idea to the validation of the product in service. From a product and project safety perspective, the authors showcase how the appropriate application of these regulations can not only enhance health and safety on a project but also improve its output and yield cost savings in both capital and operational expenditures.

Through examples, illustrations, and real-world references, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how the seemingly complex matters of regulation and risk management can be practically applied to projects. They will discover how safety regulation, standards, and initiatives all converge towards the same objective: achieving the safest possible output from any given project.

The book aims to achieve three primary goals:

1. To enhance the comprehension and implementation of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
2. To minimize errors during the design process by effectively implementing design management strategies.
3. To embed the concept of safety in design, fostering a culture of proactive risk management throughout the entire design lifecycle.

This invaluable resource is tailored for designers, design managers, supervisors, project managers, surveyors, and insurers. It serves as a crucial addition to the libraries of principal designers, specifiers, and building control officers, empowering them with the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure safe and successful design outcomes.
