Review Quotes:

"Having spent the last 30 years of my career designing a wide array of products, I've come to view Safe Use design as both an art and a science. Using scientific methods, we can measure the relative safety of our prototype and final products. But creating the safest possible product, to begin with, and convincing others it's worth the time and money to do it, is an art. Designers, as applied artists, must first create designs that people want to, and will, use. They must also convince their teams (through the art of persuasion) to pursue the safest design option. Every designer should own Designing for Safe Use. It will help them design better products. It will help them convince others that it's the right thing to do. And in a very artful way, it will provide everyone guidelines for doing it well."

--Scott Stropkay, Partner, Essential Design

"This is the first factors engineering book that clearly and concisely illustrates how to apply best practices and principles to a wide range of real-life product...[It is] a delightful book that has the perfect mix of technical content, graphics, and writing style that makes you want to read more."

--Dr. Bryce G. Rutter, Metaphase Design Group Inc., Founder & CEO
