    The technical writer's responsibility for safety ↗
    Marilyn S. Bedford; F. Cole Stearns
    Abstract

    The authors discuss the term defective product and explore the preparation of legally sufficient warnings and instructions. They outline and emphasize the critical role of the technical writer in working with both legal and engineering departments to prevent product liability claims. Examples are presented of warnings and instructions from a large industrial manufacturing concern. The role of a product safety and procedures committee at the authors' firm is explained.
