Written for product manufacturers and designers, safety engineers, risk managers, and students, the Product Safety Handbook: The Manufacturer's Guide to Legal Requirements and Management Strategies explains how to comply with product safety regulations, how to develop safe products, and how to implement safe manufacturing processes.

Handbook Using the detailed instructions in this book, readers will learn how to understand the federal regulations, determine how those regulations apply to their businesses, and understand the scope of their responsibilities. In addition, they will learn how to analyze their production processes and reduce risk through safe design, safety measures, and warnings.

The authors also provide the information manufacturers need—including regulatory text from the Code of Federal Regulations—to protect or prepare their businesses against lawsuits filed by consumers and to prevent civil and criminal penalties imposed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

To help managers gain immediate access to federal information and testing data, the authors include contact information for the CPSC and for consumer-product testing laboratories. The authors also include 54 case studies and seven appendices, which include proven guidelines for compliance with the standards and regulations of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, Flammable Fabrics Act, Poison Prevention Packaging Act, and of the CPSC.
