A reduction in the risk level of 67% for SO2 exposure risk to employees and surrounding community.
A reduction in risk level of 75% for DMDC exposure risk.
Improved employee morale.
Eliminated EPA reporting requirements for SO2.
Reasonably low costs for the potassium meta‐bisulfite (K2S2O5) effervescent tables and ease of use.
Very little cost to relocate and shelter the DMDC metering machine outside of the winery (relocated the system to the outside of the building to eliminate the risk to employees in the bottling areas).
10 THE BUSINESS CASE
When examined using concepts of a business case (which captures the reasoning for initiating or continuing a project or task), PtD solutions have been shown to be good business decisions, whether the analysis includes financial or nonfinancial measures. The NIOSH Workplace Design Solution, “Supporting PtD Using Business Value Concepts” discusses this and provides further references (16, 17).
To evaluate the benefits of the prevention control measures, a PtD business case tool was developed.
The business case model estimates potential benefits of the improvements. For this project, the risk treatments led to substantial risk reduction and had financial and other nonfinancial benefits for the winery. Risk reduction is considered the most important nonfinancial benefit. Legal issues, improvements in Process Cycle Efficiency, and employee turnover rate before and after the interventions are presented in Figure 12. PtD intervention outcomes are presented in Figure 12.
OSH professionals who participate in the design safety process and PtD efforts should take credit for the benefits derived from a successful completed project. An organization's value creation and protection, as well as achievement of business objectives at an acceptable risk level, improved quality and production, employee and stakeholder satisfaction, and cost savings, are all ultimately derived from successful PtD efforts.
11 CONCLUSION
The speed in risk reduction and prevention improvement is directly tied to the degree of involvement OSH professionals take in PtD. Assessing risk and designing‐in safety and health during the design phase must become a common and dominating practice. Key steps necessary for OSH professionals are (i) become experts and leaders in PtD within their organization; (ii) define and establish safety specifications for designers to incorporate into their designs; (iii) help their organization define its risk levels, what is acceptable and what is not; (iv) be actively engaged in the design process, design safety reviews, management of change and procurement; and (v) implement higher level, more effective risk reduction strategies to avoid, eliminate, and reduce risks throughout the life‐cycle of systems.
FIGURE 12 PtD intervention outcomes.
As an important stakeholder of a design team, OSH professionals must be agents for change and set the safety standards. Taking the initiative to be engaged in the process is necessary. OSH professionals cannot wait to be invited to the design process; they should be active members from the beginning. We must be PtD leaders and influence our organizations in the design phase and throughout the system's lifecycle.
