Award recognizes innovators who reduce workplace hazards through impactful design solutions.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is seeking nominations for its Prevention through Design (PtD) Award through March 3, 2025. This annual recognition honors innovators who eliminate or reduce workplace hazards through impactful design solutions or contribute knowledge that enables PtD innovations.
PtD focuses on anticipating and "designing out" workplace hazards, including facilities, work methods, processes, equipment, tools, products and work organization. This proactive approach represents the most reliable and effective type of prevention.
Nominees and past recipients have not only demonstrated their perseverance in implementing extensive measures to improve worker conditions, but also their adeptness in utilizing an “outside-the-box" mentality to facilitate groundbreaking developments.
NIOSH presents the award in partnership with the National Safety Council, American Industrial Hygiene Association and American Society of Safety Professionals. The program welcomes nominations from individuals, teams, businesses and organizations that demonstrate benefits to U.S. workers.
Winners will be announced by September 2025 and honored at the ASSP Safety 2025 conference in Orlando, Florida. Previous nominations can be updated and resubmitted.
