Product safety management in high-tech industry projects

In the context of industrial project, along with quality and industrialisation, the product safety is essential to ensure a control over the project cost and schedule and guaranty the delivery of a product with the level of reliability expected. We propose to explain what a safety analysis is and why it is mandatory in any project implementation, what the company and the product gain out of it.
