PSNet
It is true that most of us in the PS arena have grown primarily
from OJT (on-the-job-training) and the school of hard knocks...
What we do is not magic, however, and is soundly based upon well
founded principles. This is formally known as System Safety and has been
formalized since the end of WWII in the US... The UofCal system in LA has
been a leader in this effort as it suported the aerospace industry there.
The UofWisc - Madison has the largest group of training seminars that are
offered on an ongoing basis to practicing engineers... Several courses -
Establishing and Implementing the Product Safety Program; Training the
Expert Witness; and Obtaining that CE marking are being offered this week
and will be repeated in a few months... Further, most test houses offer
training to meet specific requirements (e.g. UL training for UL 1950,
etc)... Plus many individuals, including myself, offer training as part of
our effort to help companies meet requirements on a worldwide basis...
Feel free to ask about my 2-day CE marking jump-start training for
companies; or about my product safety basic training program...
So, there is hope in getting training in the PS arena... Look
around, get informed as to the choices and pick the opportunity that best
fits your current level of experience as well as your company need...
Others will, I'm sure respond to this request... hopefully this is
not too blatent an advert for this forum...
