Full Description

This comprehensive handbook discusses the need to design safety into a job at the start, rather than by retrofitting. Safety, health, and environmental concerns can be designed and built into products, rather than addressed after those products have been put into operation. This book will show you how to give each level of engineering a share of the responsibiity for building safety into the job, right through the production phase. In addition, you'll learn how responsibility extends to product design, plant layout, and condition of premises, selection, and specification of materials, production planning, and duties of managers and employees. Safety Through Design is an important new volume addressing the leading edge in safety theory and implementation. This manual is a must read for design and manufacturing engineers, managers, and safety professionals.
