D REVIEW Product Safety involves the elimination or control of hazards on products that have a potential for causing injury to users and bystanders This booklet gives a basic understanding of how to identify and take action on hazards For a more complete treatment of the subject there are numerous safety engineering texts and courses available Encourage their use in your company 1 The first step in this process is to identify the hazard Take a thorough look at reasonably foreseeable patterns of customer use and misuse of your product A list is provided at the end of this section Potential Hazards for Many Product Types Consider common human mistakes and limitations With your design team determine reasonable potential hazards and list the hazards you identify Some forms of energy hazards to consider are mechanical chemical reactive gt thermal gt electrical gt radiant acoustic chemical corrosive toxic potential stored kinetic impact N Eliminate those hazards on your list that you can by designing them out of the product Apply this important principle to as many hazards on your list as you can If your product contains a potential hazard consider altering the design to eliminate the hazard by a change in material design or process so the hazard is gone Thorough and creative application of sound engineering principles will aid the redesign process It cannot be overemphasized that safety is
