Faculty Technology, Policy and Management Department Values and Technology Date 2013-09-29 Abstract Forty years of development in the science and technology of estimating and quantifying risk, of understanding of human behaviour and human rationale has made decision makers more informed. We are in a much better position now, than forty years ago in estimating probabilities, consequences, and damages, and in estimating and dealing with the associated uncertainties in an organised way. This did not take away the fundamental questions about the acceptability of activities bearing risk. It did not take away the differences between people and groups of people and it did not take away that these decisions are difficult.
