“…Several papers have investigated the root causes of accidents in order to estimate the percentage of accidents that could be prevented or mitigated by changes in design or the design process (Hale et al, 2007;Kinnersley and Roelen, 2007;Kirwan, 2007). Some authors have tried to present a coherent and systematic approach for considering possible safety problems and how to avoid them (Fadier and Ciccotelli, 1999;Kjellen, 2002). Others explored whether design processes that are successful in one industry can be transferred to other industries (Drogout et al, 2007).…”

A number of high profile product safety events and recalls have heightened public attention to the safety and security of the products that people consume and use. While product safety isn’t a new topic, the effect of the global supply chain in creating or exacerbating safety risks and vulnerabilities is both timely and relevant. In this essay we focus on how the field of operations management can provide fresh perspectives and insights in addressing the challenges of product safety and security in the global supply chain. We first examine the product safety issues and challenges that arise in five industries that are increasingly globalizing their supply chains: food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, consumer products and automobiles. We describe four areas where operations management theory and methodologies can provide fresh insights and innovative solutions in addressing these problems; regulation and standards, product lifecycle management, traceability and recall management, and supplier relationships.

“…• Kjellén and Sklet (1995) reviewed different risk analysis methods used to estimate the risk (probability/consequence) of occupational accidents on the basis of theoretical analysis. • Fadier and Ciccotelli (1999) carried out a survey on available methods and models for integrating safety in the design process. They classified research and studies on design into three complementary categories: (1) design methods, (2) design approaches/processes/models and (3) design paradigms and reasoning.…”

During recent decades, there has been growing awareness of human safety in the design process. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on design for human safety (DfHS) in manufacturing systems. To this end, a process for systematically reviewing DfHS studies was used. The authors focused in particular on the applications of design theories and methodologies (DTM) and design tools and techniques (DTT) to analyse and identify work situations in order to improve human safety in manufacturing system design. The authors also tried to identify the design phases in which these DTM and DTT could be applied. This research review covered papers published between 1980 and 2015, and combined seven groups of terms: DfHS, design, safety, DTM, DTT, risk and working situation. A critical analysis was also performed in view to defining a research agenda and the most prominent key actions capable of pointing out paths for future research.

“…According to Cushman and Rosenberg (1991), a human factors engineer should participate as a member of the design team with specific tasks in the different phases of the design process. As the concept of concurrent engineering has been widespread in industry, this is seen as a possibility for including ergonomists in the cross-functional engineering teams (Fadier & Ciccotelli, 1999;Parker, 1997). The role of the ergonomist in engineering projects is debated.…”

Integrating ergonomics into engineering: Empirical evidence and implications for the ergonomists

Engineering design is a strong determinant of workplace ergonomics. A survey among 680 engineers in 20 Danish enterprises indicated that engineers are not aware that they influence the work environment of other people. Ergonomics had a low rating among engineers, perhaps because neither management nor safety organizations expressed any expectations in this area. The study further indicated that effects of ergonomics training in engineering schools were very limited. The engineering cultures in enterprises, together with other organizational factors, are suggested to be of greater importance than the professional training. The implications for industrial ergonomists might be an acknowledgement of the role as change agent when trying to integrate ergonomics into engineering. In doing so, they need also to acknowledge that engineers are widely different. They have different backgrounds and a "sensitivity" to ergonomics depending on their current engineering domain, tasks, organizational position, and the industrial branch of their organization.
