Abstract
The September 2, 2021 edition of The New York Times “The Morning” included an interesting article concerning the collapse of the Champlain Towers South Condo in Miami that resulted in the deaths of 98 people. After seeing multiple news accounts, I couldn’t help but wonder what in the world went wrong? Is there an important system safety lesson to be learned? If so, what might it be? The International System Safety Society (ISSS) is supporting a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-sponsored effort to explore ways to better implement “safety through design” for construction projects. The Times article provided a few enticing tidbits that might be worth mulling over regarding improving safety through design.
