Answer to Question 1

PtD causes designers to think through what workers will actually have to do in constructing the permanent features of a structure. If any aspect of the design creates a hazardous condition the design is altered to eliminate or mitigate the condition.

Answer to Question 2

Heinrich's theory has two central points: 1) Injuries are caused by the action of preceding factors; and 2) removal of the central factor (unsafe act/hazardous condition) negates the action of the preceding factors and, in so doing, prevents accidents and injuries.
