Individuals from industry and retailing who hold product safety positions including engineering, quality, compliance, product integrity, and operations are encouraged to consider this program.

“Most of us come from engineering, production, the supply chain, quality or legal backgrounds – and need training to help our companies make the right decisions regarding product and consumer risk, “ according to Dave Marlow, Director, Product Integrity/Government Affairs, Brunswick Corporation and a graduate of the program. “That why SLU’s Product Safety Management program is so important.”
