3.2 Promoting a product safety culture within the organization Consumer product safety should be a key consideration in the organization’s governance structure. This can be accomplished by putting in place a product safety management plan that is implemented and endorsed by the governing body and/or top management. Examples of two different approaches to product safety management plans are presented in Annex D. The organization should understand and comply with the laws, regulations and standards that cover the consumer product produced for the marketplace in which the product is manufactured or sold. Responsibility for compliance should be clearly stated and assigned with appropriate resources allocated to develop, maintain, monitor and continually improve the product safety compliance programme. 3.3 Promoting a product safety culture outside the organization An organization should promote a consumer product safety culture throughout the supply chain. Such promotion may include setting contractual provisions or incentives, promoting good industry-wide practices, forming partnerships with sector organizations and others, sharing of information, and providing consumers with the information they need to assemble, use, maintain and dispose of a consumer product safely (see ISO 26000). 3.4 Committing to providing safe products Product safety is best addressed at the design stage to reduce the risk from hazards. This will help to avoid the need to expend resources to fund the costs of the recall of unsafe products and the potential of redesign and retooling. Management is accountable for assigning responsibilities for implementing the principles and guidance set out in this International Standard, including providing appropriate resources for training, records management and product traceability.
