Abstract

During the design process, safety is frequently viewed as a need or a performance indicator, which does not necessarily result in ideally safe products or systems. This article proposes incorporating best safety standards into the design process to enhance the exploration experience for designers and create value for customers. For this goal, frequently used safety standards and design methodologies were examined, and their common blocks were united to produce the Safety Cube. Through an integrated approach, Safety Cube incorporates common blocks for design, hazard detection, risk assessment, and risk reduction. An example application shows how to utilise Safety Cube to build machines.
