A Focus on Product Liability Prevention Best Practices – and Post
Pandemic Trends
This UW conference is designed for product safety and risk management
professionals and insurance providers, including those that work for or with
industrial and commercial equipment manufacturers. That includes product safety
managers, risk managers, product development managers, design engineers,
technical writers, and attorneys. The conference runs from October 11th to 13th. Unlike the
abbreviated versions the past few years, this conference will spend more time
and have more presenters, encompassing a wide variety of product liability
topics. The conference will have fourteen live presentations, delivered from 8:00
AM to 5:00 PM CDT on the 11th and 12th, and 8:00 AM to
12:00 PM CDT on the 13th. Attendees earn professional development
hours (PDH) and continuing education units (CEU’s).
Clarion Safety: A Featured Expert on Visual Safety Communications
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 2022 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 that coincide with
2022 republications, as well as risk management and label format options.
Angela’s background includes over fifteen years of experience in the 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.
An Opportunity to Learn From all Sides
Other topics of discussion at this year’s conference will include:
- Risk Documentation
- Engineering and Human Factors
- Product Safety Management Systems
- Legal Responsibilities and Judicial Viewpoints
- Supply Chain Issues
