已经确定，设计是造成建筑部门职业伤害和疾病的原因之一。这导致设计人员需要实施职业安全和健康设计（DfOSH），这是一些国家立法所要求的。因此，设计师（作为个人或组织）应设法通过设计减轻职业安全和健康（奥什）风险。为了使设计公司有效地做到这一点，他们需要有能力实施DfOSH。然而，有一个缺乏的DfOSH能力的实证研究，以及一个强大的机制，确定设计公司的DfOSH能力。借鉴能力成熟度的概念，结合专家组技术的应用，本研究开发了一种新的基于Web的DfOSH能力成熟度模型，使DfOSH能力的设计组织在建筑环境中的评估。该模型捕捉18 DfOSH组织能力属性映射到五个阶段的能力成熟，这是进一步的背景下，通过纳入成熟度指标的例子，以使易于使用的模型。模型评估的结果证实了该模型的实用性。设计公司可以应用该模型来自我评估他们的能力，以了解能力不足和优势的领域。客户组织也可以使用该模型作为资格预审安排的一部分，以选择具有所需DfOSH能力的设计公司。
It has been established that design contributes to the occurrence of occupational injuries and illnesses in the construction sector. This has resulted in the need for designers to implement design for occupational safety and health (DfOSH), which is required by legislation in some countries. Consequently, designers (as individuals or organisations) should seek to mitigate occupational safety and health (OSH) risks through design. In order for design firms to do this effectively, they need to have the capability in respect of implementing DfOSH. However, there is a paucity of empirical studies on DfOSH capability as well as a robust mechanism for ascertaining the DfOSH capability of design firms. Drawing on the capability maturity concept combined with the application of expert group techniques, this study develops a novel web-based DfOSH capability maturity model that enables the assessment of the DfOSH capability of design organisations in the built environment. The model captures 18 DfOSH organisational capability attributes mapped onto five stages of capability maturation which are further contextualised by the incorporation of maturity level indicator examples in order to enable ease of use of the model. Results of the model evaluation confirm the model’s usefulness. Design firms could apply the model to self-assess their capability in order to understand the areas of capability deficiency and strength. Client organisations could also use the model as part of pre-qualification arrangements in selecting design firms with the needed DfOSH capability.
