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

Engineering Society member. Why be a member?

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
The Product Safety Engineering Society and the EMC Society are
happy to announce that for a limited time, members of either Society can receive
free first-time trial membership for 2010 in the other Society. This offer
is only extended for first-time membership and is only free for the 2010
membership cycle. So PSES members who have never been members of the EMC
Society can get free membership in EMCS for 2010 (and vice versa). You
must be a full IEEE member. We are working with the IEEE to set up a
special website for signing up. Details will be posted here when available
and an email blast will be sent out to both Society's members. A
form is available for EMCS
members to sign up for their free
2010 PSES membership. Restrictions apply, see
form for details.
The Product Safety Engineering
Society sends out email notices using IEEE email services. If you selected
the "do not contact" option for your email account then you will never receive
anything from the IEEE or the Product Safety Engineering Society including
newsletter announcements or other correspondence. Please insure that
your email address is up to date and you allow the IEEE to contact you via
email.

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

 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 over 200 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.
We have decided to discontinue our Ning
site as it did not attract any activity. Our group on LinkedIn has
proven to be very popular and we will concentrate our support on that
site.
If you are interested in assisting us in
the administration of one of the groups on the social networking sites
like LinkedIn or Facebook or the administration of the Ning site, 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
