Abstract—Safety is the highest priority consideration for engineering education, and is particularly important in teamwork. Incorporating safety into engineering teams and the design process is the focus of this paper. The introduction to safety in engineering design and teams, safety documentation, rules and culture in design and teams, safety control and management schemes, some emerging trends in engineering design, teams and safety, and finally case studies are presented.
