Sfondo

Raina Shah è consulente principale del gruppo Human Factors e dirige le attività di comunicazione del rischio chimico. Ha una vasta esperienza in contenziosi relativi alla comunicazione del rischio chimico, alla salute e alla sicurezza sul lavoro e alla sicurezza e alle avvertenze dei prodotti di consumo. Le sue attività comprendono la ricerca sulla risposta degli utenti alle avvertenze e alle istruzioni; la valutazione delle informazioni sulla sicurezza dei prodotti in contesti di consumo, medici, ricreativi, di vendita al dettaglio e professionali; l'analisi degli incidenti di prodotto e professionali e dei problemi di sicurezza nei locali; la consulenza generale in materia di sicurezza e fattori umani.

Shah ha svolto un ruolo attivo nella definizione degli standard nazionali per le avvertenze e le istruzioni dei prodotti di consumo (ANSI Z535), per l'etichettatura dei prodotti chimici (ANSI Z129.1) e per le schede di sicurezza dei materiali (ANSI Z400.1), e ha tenuto regolarmente conferenze presso l'Università del Michigan su argomenti quali la comunicazione dei rischi, la distrazione dei conducenti e i rischi incerti per la salute e la sicurezza.

Shah ha conseguito un master in Ingegneria industriale e operativa presso l'Università del Michigan. Ha inoltre conseguito due lauree di primo livello presso l'Università del Michigan, una in psicologia e l'altra in ingegneria industriale e operativa. Durante la sua permanenza all'Università del Michigan, Shah ha collaborato alla ricerca presso il Centro di Ergonomia dell'Università del Michigan nel campo della biomeccanica e della simulazione del movimento umano. Ha inoltre lavorato presso la Divisione Fattori Umani dell'Istituto di Ricerca sui Trasporti dell'Università del Michigan, dove ha studiato i fattori umani legati alla progettazione di interfacce per i conducenti.
