 I
try like crazy to keep
products safe for those who
use them and to keep my
clients out of the courtroom.
However, when accidents occur,
I am here to assist with human
factors research support
and expert witness testimony.
|
Sample cases:
I do not advertise my clients' names. However, upon request
I may be
able to provide the names of clients I have assisted.
If your needs go beyond human factors litigation assistance,
perhaps
one of these partners and technical experts can help.

and in the procedural manuals for
its assembly/disassembly.

Product safety label context
Research was conducted to determine the degree to which operators
comply with safety label instructions as a function of the environmental

Proximity warning devices
The effectiveness of high-voltage proximity warning devices to prevent
contact of crane booms with overhead power lines was evaluated varying

Warning
signals indicating machinery activation
To establish a benchmark for adequate warning periods, a study was
carried out to determine the optimum range of delay between a warning signal and the
subsequent activation
of nearby machinery.
