Clarion Safety: A Featured Expert on On-Product Warnings for
Domestic and Global Markets
Clarion Safety’s director of standards compliance, Angela Lambert, will be one of this
year’s presenters, with a session on on-product warnings best practices.
“Failure to warn” and “inadequate warnings” continue to top today’s product
liability allegations. Angela will present key elements of labels and
instructions as defined by the ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864-2 standards, and
noteworthy trends in creating effective warnings for U.S. and international
use. The discussion will include the most recent standards updates from late 2023
and those anticipated in the next cycle, as well as risk management and label
format options. Of specific interest, she will be exploring the implications of
these standards and warnings in digitalization and automation. Our presentation
will be held from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM on Tuesday, April 23rd as a
part of Track 3 – Technical Communications.
Angela’s background includes over fifteen years of experience field of warnings and liability, including involvement at the leadership level in the ANSI and ISO standards. She’s chair of ANSI Z535.1, the standard that focuses on colors used in visual safety communication, as well as a delegate representative to ANSI for the ISO/TC 145 SC2 WG 1 committee, responsible for the library of ISO 7010 registered symbols and the ISO 3864 set of standards.
