Product safety begins with design or formulation whether it is for
a complex engineering product or a simple household article. Those
who suffer damage from a design defect can win compensation without
having to prove negligence. Manufacturers, suppliers and importers
can all be responsible for ensuring that their products are safe.
To help protect them against prosecution, customer dissatisfaction
and commercial loss requires a programme of risk reduction, which
begins with the management of design. Design and product
development require a balanced approach to the new realities of the
legal situation, both for companies and individual designers. Part
One reviews the strategy needed to manage design in the fresh legal
climate and includes guidance on techniques that can be used. Part
Two is a jargon-free guide through the difficult area of
international product liability law. It has been entirely rewritten
to reflect the many recent changes to influence European law and a
designer's personal liability. Part Three brings home vividly the
physical, legal and commercial risks of product defects and
demonstrates ways in which they could be prevented. There are over
20 real life, fascinating and instructive case histories, many of
them new, ranging from exploding office chairs to ro-ro ferries and
from washing powder to aircraft. Safer by Design is exceptional in
providing management and risk assessment advice, coupled with legal
guidance and actual practical lessons.
