Leading expert in cross-sectoral risk management decision-making.

In recent years in UK policy circles this question has been couched more in terms of ‘proportionate’ decision-making.

This is common to all sectors, from leisure, to aviation, to occupational health and safety (OHS).Dr Laurence Ball provides expert witness services, consulting and training to companies and government departments wishing to understand cutting-edge concepts in risk decision-making.
