Overview: Since the beginning of civilization, engineers have been the gatekeepers for innovation and public safety. As the needs of the public have evolved, so have the designs that engineers have created. As the public needs for safety have evolved, so has the field of safety engineering. This paper describes about the role of the engineering risk assessment in public safety. It discusses how the application of evolved design safety to public works projects is helping to create safer buildings, roads, bridges, utilities, water supplies and so on, and how engineering risk assessment is a critical component in the new approach to public safety.
