Resolving product safety issues must be a preemptive threefold process.

1. Hazard identification
2. Research and analyze solutions
3. Recommend appropriate corrective action

Miles Loretta served as chairman of the product safety committee for a major US manufacturer of machine tools. Led all new product safety audits, investigated accidents, reviewed and approved all safety signage.

He chairs an ANSI safety standard committee which wrote a new US safety standard for CNC machining centers.

HAS (Hazard Analysis System) is one of the tools used to help resolve product safety issues by quantitatively comparing alternate solutions. Miles is proficient in its use and has taught over 100 employees how to utilize this powerful tool.

Common rules for resolving safety issues:

1. Design out the hazard, if that’s not possible,
2. Design a safety interlock, if that’s not possible,
3. Warn about the hazard.
