Workshop Overview / Description

Introduces engineers, compliance professionals, and product development teams with foundational knowledge of product safety engineering design principles.

Participants explore how safety considerations can be proactively embedded into product development to help reduce risks of electrical shock and fire hazards while addressing ethical and legal responsibilities.

The course emphasizes prevention-focused design strategies over reactive measures, introducing key concepts relevant to current and emerging technologies.

Through a balance of instruction, practical examples, and interactive discussion, learners gain a clearer understanding of how safety integration supports both compliance and innovation.

Due to anticipated attendance demand and promotional coupon offering for attendees wanting course availability for their company colleagues, a no-cost workshop preregistration is required at time of IEEE ISPCE 2026 conference registration noted below in the drop-down boxes.
