About Safety Ledger

Safety Ledger is an independent, public-interest documentation project. It operates as a national registry of technology-related incidents, organized by sector, system type, and regulatory jurisdiction.

The registry collects incident reports from individuals, healthcare providers, attorneys, and institutional sources. These reports are cross-referenced against publicly available regulatory data—including FDA MAUDE, NHTSA ODI complaints, OSHA citations, and CPSC recall notices—to identify patterns that may indicate areas warranting further examination.

When incident clustering meets defined thresholds, Safety Ledger elevates the pattern to active monitoring status and may publish descriptive analysis.

Safety Ledger documents and analyzes publicly reported information. It does not conduct inspections, audits, laboratory testing, or enforcement actions.

Safety Ledger does not conduct original scientific research. It does not advocate for specific legal outcomes. Its function is documentation and pattern identification in the public interest.

Safety Ledger is not a law firm. It does not provide legal advice. It does not refer cases to attorneys. It does not evaluate claims for litigation value.

Safety Ledger is not affiliated with any government agency. References to regulatory bodies such as the FDA, NHTSA, OSHA, CPSC, FAA, DOE, DOD, or DHS reflect jurisdictional relevance only—not endorsement, partnership, or official status.

Safety Ledger is not a consumer complaint resolution service. Incident reports submitted to the registry are reviewed for pattern analysis, not individual case resolution.

Safety Ledger operates independently. It is not funded by manufacturers, technology companies, insurance carriers, or litigation financiers with direct interest in the outcomes of specific cases.

Editorial decisions—including which sectors to monitor, which patterns to examine, and which findings to publish—are made solely by the Safety Ledger editorial team based on documented incident data and observed clustering.

No outside party has editorial control over Safety Ledger content.

Safety Ledger serves the public interest by making technology incident information accessible to:

• Individuals and families seeking information about reported incidents involving specific technologies
• Investigative journalists covering product safety and emerging technology
• Academic researchers studying human-machine interaction and reported harms
• Regulatory professionals monitoring incident trends
• Legal professionals researching reported incident patterns

The registry is designed to organize information that might otherwise remain fragmented across regulatory databases, medical records, and individual reports.
