Providing expertise is a great responsibility. It requires a sense of commitment and a desire for positive outcomes. Expertise also requires the right combination of qualifications and experience. Risk Sciences International is not unique in that they did not invent the quest for the best talent. They are, however, committed to remaining among those who constantly strive to attract and retain the best and most skilled staff.

Ultimately, guidance is a balancing act, one that RSI takes very seriously.

The list of organizations, companies, and governments above in no way denotes or implies support or endorsement by these entities. The list is intended as an indication of the breadth of work led and undertaken by Risk Sciences International staff.

Risk cannot be a proprietary battle. One person's discovery can mean another person's safety or survival.

RSI scientists are committed to publishing peer reviewed articles, not for the recognition, but in the hope, the sincere hope, that our ideas can contribute to the greater good.
