−	It is important that designers consider the elimination of hazards before the reduction or management of residual risks. The project team’s maintenance of a hazard and risk register can be a helpful element in the process of tracking design changes where safety related issues have determined a change or modification.

	(b) Evaluate those risks that cannot be avoided.		(b) Evaluate those risks that cannot be avoided.
−
−	Design risk management (DRM) is a normal part of any design process and allows inherent risks to be identified and for measures to eliminate or manage them to be integrated into the developing design. The process of DRM involves identifying hazards and any associated risks relating to the intended construction work (building structures, maintaining, cleaning, using, and removing them). These can be associated with the sites(s), the existing structures on which work will be carried out and their surroundings, as well as the hazards and risks that are created by the designs that are produced for new structures or constructions. Designers are then required to eliminate or minimise the identified risks by modifying aspects of designs, and to provide information about any resultant significant residual risks so that these can be managed safely during the construction process and during maintenance, cleaning and eventual demolition.
