Safety Engineering & Loss Prevention

 
The beginning of a project is the right time to involve The Photonics Group. We ensure safe engineering practices are applied to reduce risk of injury and resulting legal action once your project becomes a product and saleable. Additionally, we can:
  • Work with your insurance agency to reduce your premiums while increasing safety, and;
  • Develop safe work practices while working with and developing Photonics-based technologies.
 

CASE STUDY

 
   
Surgical Laser System Development Assistance
 

Challenge

 
A start-up medical laser company had completed the design of a CO2-based surgical laser, but required assistance to assure the product was safe and met any/all regulatory requirements. Additionally, a Photonics safety consultant was required to ensure their workplace was safe with respect to the laser work and testing required to manufacture the product.
 

Solution

 
The Photonics Group was contracted and bundled Safety Engineering/Loss Prevention services with Certification and Compliance services to first make sure the product engineering incorporated met the necessary regulations. Then, from a user safety standpoint, ergonomics were applied and the design adjusted. An audit was performed at the manufacturing facility to determine the status of workplace safety issues. A plan was drawn, employees were trained, and administrative systems were installed and tested.
 

Conclusion

 
The project schedule defined a total 60-day timeline. The Photonics Group completed the project within 45 days- including safety engineering assistance and administrative systems installation. The Photonics Group completed this project at the budget allocated.
