Dear madam,
there is a need for safety, which is follow

Normative safety

Normative safety is a term used to describe products or designs that meet applicable design standards and protection.
Substantive safety

Substantive, or objective safety means that the real-world safety history is favorable, whether or not standards are met.
Perceived safety

Perceived, or subjective safety refers to the level of comfort of users. For example, traffic signals are perceived as safe, yet under some circumstances, they can increase traffic crashes at an intersection. Traffic roundabouts have a generally favorable safety record, yet often make drivers nervous.

madam,

A number of standards organizations exist that promulgate safety standards. These may be voluntary organizations or government agencies.

United States

American National Standards Institute

A major American standards organization is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Usually, members of a particular industry will voluntarily form a committee to study safety issues and propose standards. Those standards are then recommended to ANSI, which reviews and adopts them. Many government regulations require that products sold or used must comply with a particular ANSI standard.

Testing laboratories

Product safety testing, for the United States, is largely controlled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. In addition, workplace related products come under the jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which certifies independent testing companies as Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL),

hi

need for safety measures are:
— rapid industrialization with its complexities in manufacturing
process and layout;
— expansion or modifications in existing factories;
— setting up of new industries involving hazards not known earlier;
— lack of safety consciousness on the part of both workers and
management;
— inadequate realisation of the financial implications of accidents.

It is important to distinguish between products that meet standards, that are safe, and those that merely feel safe. The highway safety community uses these terms:
Normative safety

Normative safety is a term used to describe products or designs that meet applicable design standards and protection.
Substantive safety

Substantive, or objective safety means that the real-world safety history is favorable, whether or not standards are met.
Perceived safety

Perceived, or subjective safety refers to the level of comfort of users. For example, traffic signals are perceived as safe, yet under some circumstances, they can increase traffic crashes at an intersection. Traffic roundabouts have a generally favorable safety record, yet often make drivers nervous.
