The Safe Product, Safety Challenges Raised by Design and Use

The Safe Product, Safety Challenges Raised by Design and Use 

The third step accompanied the increasing importance of public transport in the late 1980s and 1990s automated aircraft, TGV trains, guided metro systems etc. 

For the first time, the analysis prioritised the quality of the commercial product (train or aircraft safety) rather than the site where it is designed and produced. The approach had become decentralised to encompass both design and use. Safety problems within the factory became secondary problems relating to product use and product quality were the priority. 

This decentralisation was both the product and the result of two revolutions  

The safety of the product that is delivered and the way it is used take precedence over production processes within the factory.
