Security Achieved through Functional Environmental Design or SAFE Design, is a standardized approach to physical security that reduces the risk and fear of crime and social disorder by design, policy, and placemaking. The SAFE Design Standard is the first standardized CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) process founded on established CPTED principles. The Standard also follows the new ISO 22341 CPTED guidelines. The standard may be applied to buildings, sites, campuses, and other built environments to reduce the risk of crime. It may be used on both existing properties and new developments. On new developments, SAFE Design input is provided at key points in the design process including pre-design, schematic design, design development, and project completion. The proprietary SAFE Design Standard can only be applied by a SAFE Design Accredited Professional (SAFE AP) and used on projects registered with SAFE Design.

The SAFE Design CouncilA Non-Profit Organisation Committed to Crime Reduction Through DesignThe SAFE Design Council is a non-profit organisation responsible for overseeing, administering, and managing the SAFE Design Standard® (Security Achieved through Functional Environmental Design) - The first standardized, scholarly-based, and industry-informed Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) certification program delivered by accredited professionals.The SAFE Design Council: • An international non-profit organisation committed to crime reduction through design• Led by a multidisciplinary team of academics, design professionals and crime reduction specialists• Trains and accredits design and security professionals to apply the SAFE Design Standard® • Reviews the assessments by accredited professionals to ensure the rigorous requirements of the SAFE Design Standard® are met. The SAFE Design Standard® (Security Achieved through Functional Environmental Design)The principal goal of the SAFE Design Standard® is to create functional built environments where legitimate users feel safe and secure, and potential offenders feel vulnerable to detection and apprehension – without the need for overt or undesirable fortification. Buildings and sites designed using the SAFE Design Standard® stand to be safer and more secure environments, as well as desirable places in which to live, learn, work and play. What sets SAFE Design Standard® assessments apart from traditional environmental crime reduction approaches is the use of a consistent, standardized methodology that integrates specific measures for the design, development and construction of built environments.
