User Perspectives on
SAFE LABEL AND PACKAGE DESIGN
for Prescription Health Products
Thursday, February 16, 2017
1 day workshop
Program Abstract:
Through the Plain Language Labelling Initiative, new Canadian regulations have been introduced with the intention of improving the safe use of drugs by making labels and packages easier to read and understand. The label and package are the first points of interaction between a health product and a potential user. It is important that product labels and packages are designed with the user in mind and with consideration of the environment in which the product will be used.
This workshop will teach participants about user issues and safety principles pertinent to manufacturer design of safe and clear labels and packages for prescription health products. Participants will learn how these principles can be applied, with a focus on avoiding or mitigating harm associated with product-use errors.
Participants will have the opportunity to integrate their learning through hands-on review and analysis of health product labels and packages.
Participants will be asked to bring 1 or 2 prescription product labels and packages to the workshop.
Audience:
Health product label and package designers, manufacturing quality assurance managers, regulatory officers, group purchasing managers, group purchasing buyers, pharmacy buyers or purchasing technicians.
Workshop Level:
Intermediate (assumes basic knowledge of health product label and package design regulations and standards; previous experience with label and package design is preferred)
