 Services include:

   Machine risk assessment: Risk assessments are a powerful tool in identifying and reducing hazards – making them the foundation of a product safety program. The Clarion Safety Assessment team helps ensure the risk assessment follows a formal method based on the needs at hand and today’s best practices. The end result: effective processes and outcomes are established in line with a comprehensive safety strategy

.  Warnings and label reviews: Communicating risk through warnings is a critical component of risk reduction, especially when it’s not practical to design out or guard against a particular hazard. However, there’s a reason that “failure to warn” and “inadequate warnings” continue to top today’s product liability allegations: creating effective on-product warnings isn’t always easy. In this personalized label or label program evaluation, the Clarion Safety Assessment team reviews the latest standards and best practices and makes tangible recommendations.

  Consulting: There are many different elements in an effective productsafety program. Whether a company is looking to put their program to the test or has known issues but are unsure where to begin, Clarion Safety’s consulting solution is an effective starting point. Examples of types of consulting offered include product safety/liability strategy, specifying safety requirements like machine guarding, best practices for product safety manuals, and litigation support
