Product Safety Training: now on demand, free for members

All three updated modules of APPA's Product Safety Training Program are now available to watch on demand in the Members area, each with its own video and downloadable slides.

Product safety is part of doing business in promotional products, and the program is now easier to access than ever. It's designed to get members up to speed on key principles and processes, or to refresh existing knowledge, and to apply them to their own business and products.

Developed exclusively for APPA

Gail Greatorex, Product Safety Solutions

Gail brings more than 30 years of consumer product safety expertise to the program, including 25 years with the ACCC's product safety branch.

Three modules, best completed in order

Work through the program at your own pace, with slides to download for each module.

1

The Regulatory System

45 minutes

An overview of the laws, regulatory agencies and legal provisions that apply in Australia and New Zealand, from consumer guarantees and misleading claims to mandatory standards, bans and specialist regimes such as electrical appliance safety.

2

Achieving Safe Products

42 minutes

Why regulations don't cover every product or every hazard, and how to identify and manage hazards in practice, with hands-on analysis of common promotional products, primarily drinkware and apparel.

3

Supply Chain and Testing

36 minutes

How the supply chain works more like a network than a straight line, and the processes involved in making and distributing products both offshore and at home.
