Application of safety standards, consensus guidelines, and industry practices
Safety management systems and program evaluation

My work includes case review, analysis, site and premises evaluations, testing, reporting, and testimony. The emphasis is on clear, objective explanation of technical issues, operational context, and industry practices. I have been retained by both plaintiff and defense counsel across a range of matters. In all cases, I approach the work independently, with attention to the facts, relevant standards, and the practical realities of the environment or conditions involved.
