​​Ms. Shah has extensive experience in litigation matters related to chemical hazard communication, occupational health and safety, and product safety and warnings. Her experience includes evaluating warnings and risk communications across consumer, medical, recreational, retail, occupational, and environmental contexts.  

​Ms. Shah provides specialized litigation consulting and expert analysis regarding risk communication in matters involving alleged recent and historical exposures to hazardous substances in occupational, consumer, and community settings. Her experience spans workplace air contaminants, environmental air and ground water contaminants, industrial cleaning products, pesticides and herbicides, personal care products, vehicle maintenance products, and household chemicals. Ms. Shah is regularly called upon to answer questions such as when and whether risk information should be provided, how, by whom, and to which audiences. Her work frequently involves consideration of current and historical regulatory frameworks (e.g., those under OSHA, CPSC, EPA, FDA, MSHA, and OEHHA (California Proposition 65)) and warnings and human factors literature related to information processing and user response to safety information.  

​Ms. Shah’s teaching, research, and publications over the last two decades have addressed user response to warnings and instructions, hazard communication, and considerations for warning in the face of uncertain health risks. She has contributed to the development of national standards for consumer product warnings and instructions (ANSI Z535.4 and ANSI Z535.6) and chemical labeling and material safety data sheets (ANSI Z129.1/Z400.1). She currently serves on the Executive Committee for the International Society for Occupational Ergonomics and Safety (ISOES) and as Vice Program Chair for the Safety Technical Group within the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES).
