  2. Why are designers important? • You design the structure, interpret the client’s wishes, influence the client’s choices – impact on constructability, operability, maintainability and removeability • Research estimates between 17% and 47% of accidents are traceable back to decisions made at the design stage. HSRR218

  8. Why should you design out risk? • H&S consequences • The law • Project delivery and lifetime benefits
