The first regulation requiring product warnings appeared in the United States in 1927 with the Federal Caustic Poison Act. Today, a wide variety of product warnings are dictated by standards and regulations.
While ensuring compliance with relevant standards regarding warnings is useful, product safety professionals should also consider whether additional warnings are needed, and be familiar with methods for developing such warnings.
This webinar will walk listeners through steps that are typical of a warnings development process:
· Project planning
· Understanding hazards and choosing what to warn about
· Developing draft safety messages
· Evaluating and finalizing safety messages
· Ongoing monitoring and periodic review
