👉 Liability engineering is a proactive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks and liabilities associated with complex systems or products before they come into operation. It involves a systematic process to understand the consequences of system failures, human errors, or external events and to design safeguards and contingency plans that minimize harm and legal exposure. By integrating risk management into the design, development, and operational phases, liability engineering aims to ensure that organizations are better prepared to handle unforeseen incidents, thereby reducing the likelihood of costly lawsuits, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. This approach emphasizes collaboration across disciplines, including engineering, legal, and operations, to create robust safety cultures and resilient systems.
