Re: Liability (Oxford) Ltd combines in-depth analysis of scientific information and a working knowledge of UK liability law to advise on the management of liability risks. We have a deep understanding of the liability environment, insurance market, Government Agencies etc. that have a direct influence on liability risk. We have extensive experience of applying scientific knowledge to complex liability risks enabling us to assist clients in risk profiling and selecting risk management options.

We produce a monthly review of a wide range of science literature and assess its implications for liability exposure and risk management. This review process provides information streams from which more detailed analyses can be constructed, specific to the needs of the customer (see recent projects). Sources include over 150 leading science journals and Government sources from around the world.

The review process focuses on two main areas:

• new scientific, technical and regulatory developments with potential implications for liability exposure and;
• developments in known areas of exposure, allowing us to provide updates to the State of Knowledge and to risk modelling parameters The results are made available to clients in briefings specifically tailored to individual client requirements.

Typical contents include articles on: asbestos, emfs, genetic engineering, allergies, nano technology, work stress, diagnostic techniques, prognosis tools, rehabilitation, new contagions, whiplash neck injury, tobacco, cancer, child abuse, upper limb disorders and the work of the leading UK authorities (HSE, DEFRA, DWP, DTI, DoH) where this affects liability exposure,.

Re: Liability (Oxford) has produced over 30 reports on various scientific issues affecting liability risk managers; including asbestos, silicosis, welding fume (manganese), man made mineral fibres and occupational stress.
