Clarion Safety to Present at the University of Wisconsin’s Product Liability Conference
Posted by Clarion Safety Systems | 1st Sep 2020
Join us at the University of Wisconsin’s 32 nd Annual Product Liability Conference, which takes place later this month and includes a session from Clarion Safety. Rather than the traditional in-person conference, in order to better protect the health of attendees and presenters during the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s event will be virtual. Don’t miss this chance to attend, expanding your knowledge!
A Focus on Product
Liability Prevention Best Practices – and Emerging Trends
The conference is designed for product safety and risk management professionals
that work with industrial and commercial equipment manufacturers, as well as
insurance providers. That includes product safety managers, risk managers,
product development managers, design engineers, technical writers and
attorneys. The conference runs from September 29
th to October 1st.
It’s an abbreviated version of the usual in-person conference, specifically
designed to provide valuable information on key topics in product liability,
while still allowing attendees time to go about their day-to-day business
needs. The conference will have six live presentations, two per day, delivered
from 9-11:30 AM CDT. Attendees earn professional development hours (PDH) and
continuing education units (CEU’s).
Clarion Safety:
A Featured Expert on On-Product Warnings for Domestic and Global Markers
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, and those
anticipated in 2021, as well as warnings considerations due to COVID-19. 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.
