Abstract
Products liability insurance is available for all but the smallest and newest SWECS manufacturers. Large companies simply insure SWECS as part of their total risk management (insurance) program. For other companies, however, purchase of products liability insurance usually requires a knowledgeable and aggressive insurance broker, and an effective product liability prevention program. Costs of products liability insurance varies considerably, depending on both the manufacturer's performance and the insurer's perception of exposure. This study was sponsored by the Department of Energy to analyze the particular products safety and liability status of the SWECS industry and to propose strategies for addressing their needs. Eight strategies were identified which would reduce the manufacturers' risk, redistribute the economic burden of products liability, and redefine the concept of acceptable risk.
