Abstract
Formal organization and technical considerations for product safety are the best means of eliminating or reducing products liability. The design department and the specific safety methods it uses are highly significant in achieving product safety. Establishing responsibility and accountability for safe design provide motivation and direction. Understanding of the product safety system, as well as application of loss potential analyses, aid safe design. Written documentation of safety analyses and of tests will record findings and aid decision making.
