Safety Engineering Resources Home
Safety Engineering Resources was founded in 2001 by Ryan Engineering founder and former President, Dr. L.D. Ryan. Safety Engineering Resources provides general mechanical and structural engineering consultation. We have branches in Arkansas and Michigan, and provide our engineering expertise to our clients located around the country.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is related to our duty as professional engineers to the public. We are dedicated to holding paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public in the performance of our professional duties. This is the fundamental canon of engineers' code of ethics. This means as professional mechanical engineers, we are required to put the safety, health, and welfare of the public above any other consideration or priority. This seems only logical since engineers are responsible for designing products and systems ranging from children's toys to industrial machines to huge buildings to weapons systems. This canon helps remind engineers that it is the public we are really serving, and to put the public's interest first, not our own agenda, or even our client's wants or needs.

- Finite Element Analysis
- Structural Engineering Services
- Product Certification
- Product Safety Enhancement
Product Liability Investigations/Engineering Expert Witness Services
Safety Engineering Resources provides mechanical engineering expert witness testimony services. We do full service analysis and accident reconstruction of products involved in accidents. We will determine if a product was unreasonably defective and the cause of a product injury. Safety Engineering Resources will determine if a product met the state of the art at the time of manufacture, met any applicable codes, and whether the product followed established engineering design protocol. We test products in our lab, develop alternate designs that can prevent accidents, produce high quality reports, and court visual aids such as scale models to help explain accident scenarios and alternate designs. We provide both plaintiff and defense services, based on the circumstances of the case and whether the product was produced following engineering design protocol. We will provide a detailed accident reconstruction, based on the available evidence.
Safety Engineering Resources provides our industrial clients with the peace of mind of knowing that machine hazards are guarded effectively. We have extensive experience with OSHA compliance, and can make changes to your facility to prevent costly accidents or OSHA fines. Most facilities have extensive unguarded machine hazards. Common unguarded hazards can include in-running nip points, shear points, entanglement hazards, fall hazards, and electrical hazards. We seek to make your facility as safe as possible, and will work with our clients based on their budgetary requirements.
