“…In 1997, Szymberki proposed a theory that the effectiveness of safety interventions diminishes exponentially over the lifecycle of a project. His theory is visualized as the time–safety influence curve, showing that the most influential time in the safety of construction work is during the initial phase of the project [ 9 ]. If the construction safety can be designed earlier in the conceptual and detailed engineering stages by designers, the safety impact will be much greater than that during the later stages.…”

“…PtD emphasises the significance of preventing any potential hazards by architectural design in the context of the built environment (Samsudin et al, 2021). Besides that, prior scholars and recommendations to PtD practise as a proactive safety interventions to reduce OSH concern (Ho, Lee, & Gambatese, 2020;Tymvios et al, 2020), it is agreed by Renshaw (2019),the PtD principle advocates for OSH risk elimination through design. This supports the incorporation of PtD as part of preventative measures into architectural designs to enhance the fundamental dimension of sustainable development.…”

Architects must have an adequate and relevant understanding of Prevention through Design (PtD) to execute essential design decisions during the early design stage.The understanding of PtD as a proactive safety intervention throughout the design process has been supported in various studies, but there has been little research incorporatingPtDin design practices by the architectandprovisionalarchitectural safety design parameter on the Occupational Safety andHealth (OSH)matters, thus, leadingto the gap in this study.ConsideringthePtD concept as part of the sustainablestrategy into thearchitecturalearly design stages may significantly enhance the building's life cycle and safety performance, particularly during the operational and maintenance phase of the buildingprojects. Therefore, thesystematicreview was motivated by the belief that the early architectural design stage is one of the key factors improving safety performance in the practice of PtD.This review begins by analysing literature from 2011 to 2021 with relevant keywords related to the architectural design aspect that contributes to building safety performance, followed by characterising the safety aspect atthe early architectural design stage. The findings were identified and clustered into the following five categoriesof the architectural design parameters: 1) Site planning, 2) Space Planning, 3) Building envelope, 4) Design for Visibility, and 5) Environmental DesignParameters. This finding is hope to be able to providean architectural frame of reference on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) matters, allowing future researchers and practitioners to addresssustainable aspectof safety in the early architectural design practicesof PtD while optimising building safety performance across the building life cycle projects.

“…Eliminating risks in the planning and design phases minimizes them in construction, and the earlier they are identified, the greater the chances of controlling them. (GOLABCHI et al, 2018;SAMSUDIN et al, 2022;TYMVIOS et al, 2020).…”

“…As there is a lack of connection between digital technologies and PtD (FARGHALY et al, 2022b), it is crucial to identify which data can be collected in a database to facilitate communication and promote the exchange of information between PtD knowledge and software (JIN et al, 2022). Additionally, it is important to address questions such as what the ideal time during a project's life cycle is to use PtD and whether the use of PtD can be indicated for people without knowledge in safety and design (TYMVIOS et al, 2020). In this context, the objective of this study is to systematically review published research on the development and application of digital tools capable of identifying security risks in designing and examine them to point out their characteristics and limitations.…”

Construction is a sector characterized by a high likelihood of accidents, among the factors that have the potential to reduce such accidents, the design stage is important to reduce risks in the life cycle of the enterprise. The need to reduce risks on the construction site early and proactively has fostered the development of digital tools for designs. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the literature on the development and application of digital tools capable of identifying security risks in designs and examine them to point out their characteristics and limitations. The review of the literature was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. The research showed that although the use of digital tools has great potential for impact on risk mitigation in the design stage, they are still little used and have not reached their maximum potential. In addition, this systematic review indicates possibilities of use, which include the automation of risk verification and provision of security measures, as well as limitations, as the absence of consideration of the dynamism of the work in digital tools. Therefore, the present work presents a basis to help structure future applied research in the area.
