Course Description
Gain practical guidance on how to apply prevention through design (PTD), a core methodology for reducing risk. As defined in ANSI/ASSP Z590.3-2021, a widely used voluntary national consensus standard, PTD provides a framework and process for implementing risk assessment concepts in the various phases of a system’s life span — from initial concept and design to use and then decommission. Review the various risk assessment tools and methods identified in the standard and discuss the PTD hierarchy of risk treatment. Practice applying PTD methods and concepts to real-world incidents as you work through modules that include short videos, scenarios, interactive tools, and assignments. Engage with your instructor and other participants via live virtual meetings and discussion board conversations.
