BONUS: Safety in Design - Case Studies from China

In this follow-up to our last episode on Safety in Design, Host Alizabeth Aramowicz Smith sits down with Meng Liu, Senior Partner at Anew Global Consulting in China, to discuss two case studies that highlight the benefits of this approach. Meng shares the outcomes of a factory consultation for an electric vehicle manufacturer and a construction project for a university, with time pressures to accommodate the academic year.

Guest Quote:

“ Sometimes people think safety is like additional measure and the cost to a project, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes we can help the clients to save money and also improve their schedule.”
