In Indonesia, the number of construction project increased, while the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is one of the main purposes of the construction project. However, the OHS is often neglected which is indicated by the high number of the work accident occurrences. To reduce the work risk, a safe design since the pre-construction stage which is often called prevention through design should be considered. In this research, the method was carried out by a literature study to collect theory and data from some sources, including journal, thesis and website which initiated by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Then, the research continued to field observation for collecting the references to help formulate the new design criteria. The outcome of this research demonstrates that the prevention step for the work accident should be done earlier in the project, which is in the design phase. By doing prevention, such as using the new design criteria with the OHS consideration or the prevention through design, could reduce the work accident risk that could occur in steel construction project. The new design criteria discussing 5 elements in steel structure including column, beam, rafter, endplate connection and angle plate connection by applying the elements of the OHS in advance.Keywords: new design criteria, steel construction, occupational health and safety

<p><em>Employee is an important resource to have production process in a big factory. Factory couldn’t operate without employee. To protect their employees, the leader makes a policy like occupational health and safety. This policy for protect their employee from risk of bad accident and illness that causes of work. Bad accident can strike employee anywhere and anytime so this cases must to have a special attention. So, the leader, government, and management must pay attention to this risk.  Work accident leaning influence to manpower productivity because quality of work life and guarantee of occupational health and safety influence manpower productivity. PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa, Tbk is one of the biggest cement factories in Indonesia. This factory has applicated occupational health and safety assessment base on Permenaker No. 05/MEN/1996 and OHSAS 18001. Occupational health and safety effectiveness can describe by six aspect based on Miner Theory. That theory are safety training,</em><em> </em><em>safety publication, control to work</em><em> </em><em>environment, inspection and discipline, improvement awareness of occupational health and safety, report and statistic of occupational health and safety. Five aspect of Theory Miner, can describe by employee perspective, even report and statistic of occupational health and safety can describe by secondary data from Safety Department and Management Representative of PT ITP.</em></p>

This research aimed to develop a method to facilitate the implementation of prevention through design and apply it to a pump station case study in Manitoba, Canada. The method used, in part, failure mode and effects analysis and involved tasking experts with analyzing the project’s design documents to identify potential occupational health and safety failures that could occur throughout construction. It also entailed analyzing the project’s construction documents to determine actual, design-related, occupational health and safety failures observed throughout construction. The application of the method to that project identified 42 potential failure modes in the design, 38% of which were deemed high-risk. A total of 18 failures were detected throughout construction. Of these, 89% were predicted using failure mode and effects analysis and thus deemed preventable by design, indicating the potential effectiveness of the method. Future research should reapply it to other projects to validate these findings.
