                                                               * safety of the public
                                                               * use of adjacent streets.
High consequence                                           The storage and handling of dangerous goods, or work with high energy hazards (for example, pressure) and health hazards such
hazards                                                    as biological materials.
Systems of work                                            The systems of work (including cleaning and maintenance activities) that pose risks, for example:
(involving the interaction of persons with the structure)      * rapid construction techniques, i.e. prefabrication versus in situ construction
                                                               * materials to be used in construction
                                                               * staging and coordination with other works
                                                               * inadequate pedestrian or vehicle separation
                                                               * restricted access for building and plant maintenance
                                                               * hazardous manual tasks
                                                               * working at height
                                                               * exposure to occupational violence.
                                                           Consider both technical and human factors, including humans' ability to change behaviour to compensate for design changes. Anticipate misuse throughout the lifecycle.
Environmental conditions                                   Impact of adverse natural events such as cyclones, floods and earthquakes, inadequate ventilation or lighting, high background noise levels and welfare facilities that do not meet workplace needs.
Incident mitigation                                        The possibility of the structure to exacerbate the consequences after an incident due to inadequate egress, siting of assembly areas, inadequate emergency services access.

3.3         Design development phase
In this phase the design concepts for the structure are converted into detailed drawings and technical specifications. Control measures are decided and construction documentation is prepared. The design is completed and handed to the client.
Control measures for common hazards may be chosen from known solutions. For other new
or complex hazards a risk assessment may be necessary to assist in determining the most effective control measures. The design development phase should involve:
    * Developing a set of design options in accordance with the hierarchy of control
    * Selecting the optimum solution. Balance the direct and indirect costs of implementing the design against the benefits derived.
    * Testing, trialling or evaluating the design solution
    * Redesigning to control any residual risks
    * Finalising the design, preparing the safety report and other risk control information needed for the structure's lifecycle.

Implement solutions from recognised standards
Other legislative provisions governing the design of buildings and structures in Australia include the building laws in each jurisdiction and the National Construction Code of Australia (NCCA). The Building Code of Australia (BCA) is part of the NCCA.  In addition, there are technical and engineering guidelines and standards produced by other government agencies, Standards Australia and relevant professional bodies.
The primary focus of the NCCA is to ensure buildings and structures achieve acceptable standards of structural sufficiency, safety, health and amenity. It contains technical provisions for the design and construction of buildings and other structures relating to structural sufficiency, fire spread within and between buildings, building occupant access and egress, fire
