Product Safety Engineer

Product engineers are mechanical engineers that specialize in the design and development of products and their corresponding manufacturing processes. As a product engineer, you are to coordinate with the product development team to make ideas into marketable products on the basis of market regulations and industry research. This means that you are to analyze market and industry product trends and determine product feasibility costs

Product safety engineers develop procedures and system designs that protect people from illness and injury and property from damage. They combine their engineering and health and safety knowledge to ensure that chemicals, machinery, software, furniture, and other products do not harm people or damage property. They maintain and apply their knowledge of current health and safety policies, regulations, and industrial processes and review plans and specifications of new machinery and equipment to ensure they meet safety standards.

Product safety engineers identify and correct potential hazards by inspecting facilities, machinery, and safety equipment and evaluate various industrial control mechanisms’ effectiveness. They ensure buildings or products comply with health and safety regulations, paying careful attention after conducting an inspection that requires changes. 

They direct and oversee the installation of safety devices on machinery, and review employee safety programs, recommending necessary improvements as needed. Product safety engineers need a bachelor’s degree in environmental safety or engineering.
