Product Safety and Liability
A Desk Reference
John Kolb and Steven S. Ross
While every manufacturer wants to produce safe products, only the largest firms can afford the safety professionals, design studies, and computerized analyses that are regarded as the ideal for product safety. The smaller manufac-turer must manage with less-but it is just this smaller company that has the most to lose. A big judgment or settlement could boost insur-ance rates catastrophically-or even put the company out of business.
This comprehensive, long-needed reference brings the optimum safety techniques devel-oped for the aerospace industry within reach of the average small and medium-sized manufac-turer. It is also the first work of its kind to discuss safety and liability questions involving chemical products in the same context as mechanical and electrical products. Providing "brass-tacks" help in a critical area, this book shows you how to...
