Title Product-life: from design to disposal
Bibliographic information Sep. 1990, Vol.13, No.1-2, Special Issue, 178p. Illus. Bibl. ref.
Abstract Proceedings of an international conference on industrial risk management, held in Zurich, Switzerland, 16-17 January 1989. Papers focus on an approach to risk assessment and management based on knowledge about a product throughout its entire life. Papers include: design of "user-friendly" plants; bridging engineering gaps; prediction and control of risks; comparative product-life-cycle confrontation of risks; liability and compensation; complexity, safety and reliability of the car; residual risk and its distribution in the project life cycle. Case studies from different industries illustrate applications of this concept in current safety management situations.
