Welcome to the web page of the
IEEE's Product Safety Engineering Society. This society targets design professionals and design
engineers interested in electrical product safety. The IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society addresses
safety engineering for equipment and devices used in the scientific, engineering, industrial, commercial and
residential arenas. It allows engineers and other technical professionals an opportunity to discuss and disseminate technical information, to enhance professional skills, and to provide outreach to engineers,
students and others with an interest
in the field. Find out

Not an IEEE member? Join as an
affiliate. Visit www.ieee.org/services/join/
for online forms.
A Society Affiliate is a member of an IEEE Society.
Society Affiliates are not IEEE members and are not entitled to any IEEE
benefits or services that are reserved solely for IEEE members. All
affiliate benefits and services come directly from the individual IEEE
Society offering affiliation. For each society affiliated with, the
applicant pays a separate annual affiliate fee plus that IEEE Society's
annual membership dues.
Current issues of the Product Safety Engineering
Newsletter are available on the Society Members
Only page of this web site.
Back issues of Product
Safety Engineering Society newsletters (older than one year) are posted
on the Newsletter page and are accessible
by non-members.
Also on the
Newsletter page are issues of the old
Product Safety Newsletter
from 1988 through 1998 that have been collected by members of the
Product Safety Engineering Society and provided as a service to the
product safety community.
The IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society
is seeking authors to write articles and papers for our
Newsletter. Refer to the
information
page or download the
author's guide. To advertise in the newsletter download
the advertising brochure.
The IEEE has a social networking product from Ramius
called Sixent. Our forum is called the
IEEE Product Compliance
Forum and concentrates on EMC, Safety and Regulatory issues. The
Forum was originally founded to discuss product safety issues, however
it now covers EMC and other world-wide product regulatory issues. This
is a companion tool to the emc-pstc email list.
You do not have to be a member of the IEEE, EMCS, or PSES to participate
in these discussion groups. We hope if you are not a member you will
find them of enough value to become a member.
 LinkedIn
is a business contact networking website. It specializes in
interconnecting a network of experienced professionals from around the
world. The Product Safety Engineering Society created a group on
LinkedIn in March 2008 and there are currently around 1000 members of that
group. The primary uses of LinkedIn by PSES is to promote the Society,
allow members already on LinkedIn to expand their network, post or look
for jobs, and hold online discussions with likeminded individuals. IEEE
membership is not required to join the group. There are other compliance
related groups on LinkedIn as well groups for colleges, companies, and
more. Do a search for the group “IEEE Product Safety Engineering
Society” and join us on
www.LinkedIn.com. It is great resource for expanding your own
LinkedIn network.  The
Product Safety Engineering Society has a group on Facebook. We are
listed as a group under the Professional Organizations category.
Do a search for the group “IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society” on
www.facebook.com and help us
expand our presence and get the word out about our Society.
If you are interested in assisting us in
the administration of one of the groups on the social networking sites
like LinkedIn or Facebook, please
contact our
or one of the existing group
administrators. Responsibilities include accepting new member requests
and monitoring sites for appropriateness of material submitted by users.
The ideal candidate would be someone who frequents and is active in a
particular group or site.
To find out more about our
society, read about the IEEE Product Safety
Engineering Society formation history and our
first organizational meetings. There is also a
Wikipedia entry for the
IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society.
We welcome all of your suggestions. Please contact our
