Stop blaming people for failures the system was built to produce.

Protection by Design is a practical, field-grounded book for leaders, safety professionals, consultants, educators, and operations teams who are ready to move beyond safety games, blame cycles, generic training, and surface-level compliance. Preventable injury, product damage, and property loss are usually not separate problems. They are often different outcomes of the same deeper issue: human behavior operating inside poorly designed systems. This book introduces the Protection Architecture System, a new way to design work so the organization can accomplish its mission without preventable damage. The companion workbook gives readers the field forms, worksheets, and practical tools needed to begin applying the system.
