The global construction sector is estimated to account for 100,000 fatalities annually and about 30-40% of all fatal occupational injuries. In the UK, although the construction sector accounts for only approximately 5% of the workforce in Britain, it accounts for a disproportionate 31% of occupational fatal injuries to employees. Injuries and new cases of ill health in construction cost society over £1.1 billion a year. The direct and indirect costs of injuries and illnesses resulting from construction are not only borne by the victims and their families, but also by the victims' employers, the construction client, the industry as a whole, and the government. Due to the socio-economic impacts of the unenviable health and safety record of the construction sector, there are efforts to improve health and safety in construction. Prominent amongst the efforts has been the emphasis on mitigating or eliminating health and safety risks through design, which is commonly referred to in construction as design for safety (DfS). The importance of DfS rests on the fact that design contributes significantly to the occurrence of accidents, injuries and illnesses in construction. DfS requires that designers (e.g. architects and engineers) give careful consideration to how their design decisions would affect the health and safety of builders, maintenance workers, and users of built assets. In the UK, DfS is mandatory under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) which stipulate that designers (organisations/individuals), when preparing or modifying designs, should eliminate, reduce or control foreseeable risks that may arise during the construction, maintenance and use of built assets. Consequently and understandably, CDM 2015 also requires that the appointment of organisations with design responsibilities should be based on their capability. This brings to the fore the important issue of design firms having adequate maturity in terms of DfS capability. Whilst some design firms may have attained some appreciable maturity in terms of DfS capability, others will also be deficient. Whilst there is a growing body of research on DfS in construction, there is lacking an in-depth understanding of what constitute DfS capability. Furthermore, neither has there been research aimed at understanding the maturity levels related to DfS capability. Consequently, there is lacking a robust systematic approach for ascertaining the DfS capability maturity of construction organisations with design responsibilities to pave way for improvements in DfS capability. Borrowing from the popular maxim that, "If you can't measure it, you can't improve it", and considering the significance of design to health and safety, this research will develop a web-based DfS capability maturity indicator (DfS-CMI) tool which will offer a robust and systematic approach for diagnosing the DfS capability of construction supply chain organisations involved in architectural and engineering design. The research will employ an expert group technique and ICT tool development and testing processes. The DfS-CMI tool will serve as a robust process improvement tool to enable architectural, engineering design and construction firms to improve their DfS capability. The tool will also provide a mechanism for ascertaining the DfS capability of organisations under the CDM 2015 regulations.

据估计，全球建筑部门每年占100,000人的死亡，约占所有致命职业伤害的30-40％。在英国，尽管建筑部门仅占英国劳动力的约5％，但它占员工职业致命伤害的31％。在建筑业中的伤害和新的健康状况不佳，每年成本超过11亿英镑。由于受害者及其家人，还由受害者的雇员，建筑客户，整个行业和政府造成的伤害和疾病的直接和间接成本。由于建筑部门令人羡慕的健康和安全记录对社会经济的影响，采取了改善建筑健康和安全的努力。在努力中，突出的是强调通过设计来缓解或消除健康和安全风险，这在施工中通常称为安全设计（DFS）。 DFS的重要性取决于设计在建设中的事故，伤害和疾病的发生极大的贡献。 DFS要求设计师（例如建筑师和工程师）仔细考虑其设计决策将如何影响建筑商，维护人员和建筑资产的用户的健康和安全。在英国，DFS是2015年（设计与管理）条例（CDM 2015）的强制性，该法规修复了设计人员（组织/个人）在准备或修改设计时，应消除，减少或控制在建筑，维护和使用内置资产期间可能出现的可预见风险。因此，可以理解的是，CDM 2015还要求任命具有设计责任的组织应基于其能力。这使设计公司在DFS能力方面具有足够的成熟度的重要问题。尽管某些设计公司在DFS功能方面可能已经获得了一些令人赞赏的成熟度，但其他设计公司也将是确定的。虽然对建筑中的DFS进行了越来越多的研究，但对构成DFS功能的深入了解。此外，这两个研究都没有研究旨在理解与DFS相关的成熟度，因此缺乏一种可靠的系统方法来确定具有设计责任的建筑组织的DFS能力成熟度，以铺平道路改善DFS能力的方法。从流行的格言中借用“如果您无法衡量它，将无法改进”，并且考虑到设计对健康和安全的重要性，这项研究将开发基于Web的DFS功能成熟度指标（DFS-CMI）工具，该工具将为建筑供应链组织中涉及建筑链型组织的DFS诊断功能提供强大而系统的方法。该研究将采用专家小组技术和ICT工具开发和测试过程。 DFS-CMI工具将作为一个强大的过程改进工具，以使建筑，工程设计和建筑公司能够提高其DFS功能。该工具还将提供一种确定根据CDM 2015法规的组织功能的机制。
