Failure to address these issues can lead to injuries or even death due to use errors. Historically, designers and engineers have relied on complex safety standards or obscure industry guidance documents to find solutions. However, Designing for Safe Use is the first comprehensive resource dedicated to safety-focused design principles for product developers across all industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside, readers will discover 100 principles that help ensure safe interactions with a wide range of products, including baby strollers, stepladders, chainsaws, automobiles, apps, medication packaging, and even airliners. The book explains how protective features such as blade guards, roll bars, confirmation screens, antimicrobial coatings, and functional groupings can mitigate various dangerous hazards, such as sharp edges that can lacerate, top-heavy items that can roll over and crush, fumes that can poison, and small parts that can pose a choking hazard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial features of the book include concise, illustrated descriptions of design principles, sample product designs that exemplify the guidelines and best practices, and literature references for readers interested in learning more about specific hazards and protective measures. Additionally, statistics on the number of injuries that have arisen in the past due to causes that could be eliminated by applying the principles in the book are provided to emphasize the importance of this topic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the serious subject matter, Designing for Safe Use is written in a user-friendly and accessible style, making it valuable for designers, engineers, product managers, and anyone involved in the development and manufacture of products. By applying these principles, product designers and engineers can create safer, more effective, and user-friendly products that reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 988g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 277 x 13 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781138299177\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MichaelWiklund,JonathanKendler,JonTilliss,CoryCostantino,Kimmy Ansems,Valerie Ng,Ruben Post,Brenda van Geel,RachelAronchick,Alix Dorfman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104071184634,"sku":"9781138299177","price":73.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/07aadf36b5597b925c47bcb62c7ecdeb.jpg?v=1624585302","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/designing-for-safe-use-100-principles-for-making-products-safer","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
