Product Safety Management and Engineering
Used Book in Good Condition
Willie Hammer's new edition of Product Safety Management and Engineering is an expanded and completely revised version of one of the most definitive texts on product safety ever written. New to the Second Edition are important chapters on sneak circuit analysis and analysis of software safety. New safety regulations, statute laws and Standards are also referenced. Chapters dealing with hazardous characteristics of products, environmental factors in product safety, and risk assessment have been expanded to include the impact of recent court rulings. Written in the succinct, lively style that is Mr. Hammer's trademark, Product Safety Management and Engineering, Second Edition, belongs on the desk of everyone concerned with product safety, whether in design, manufacture or use. ---- "Nothing is perfectly safe. Safety is relative; it is not absolute. But much can be done to reduce the number of accidents by improving the products we use. The point that seems to be lost in all these accusations and arguments is that people are being injured and killed and much damage is being done to property. Many products are inherently hazardous because of the purposes for which they are to be used, but safeguards can often be provided to minimize and control these hazards. In some cases hazards can be eliminated entirely or their probabilities of causing accidents reduced to such a low value that they can be considered to have been eliminated. The problem has been that those who design and manufacture these products are too often uneducated in ways of providing safeguards." - Willie Hammer
