(Introduction)
It seems fairly obvious to state that products of a higher quality are better than those of lower quality. But does the use of quality materials increase safety as well? A knife made of higher grade steel that will stay sharper longer may not be in and of itself any “safer” than a low quality, dull knife. Often it is the use of the tool that makes it more or less safe. So how is it that quality management can be used to increase safety?
(Instructions)

***I do not need cover page. And, this paper should be almost exactly 275 words.
