Are UTVs Safe?
When it comes to reducing risk of product failures, injuries, and issues — Exponent's multidisciplinary approach provides breakthrough insights.
Exponent has conducted multidisciplinary product failure analyses in countless industries and applications for more than 50 years. Our biomechanical engineers analyze human kinematics and injury mechanisms, leveraging their expertise to understand how traumatic injuries occur when using or misusing products. Meanwhile, Exponent's human factors scientists examine the relevant cognitive, attention, and perceptual factors in product safety as well as evaluate product warning and safety communications. And our user experience, mechanical, and materials engineers and scientists assess design features and evaluate the implications associated with changes in product design and use, including alternative and unanticipated uses.
