Golden rules for a risky business?
The siting of radio masts is a potentially controversial topic. How should businesses and professionals involved in this potentially controversial area try to steer a course in dealing with public perceptions of risk? Dr Simon Gerrard, a specialist in the perception of risk, based at the University of East Anglia, advocates the application of a set of 'golden rules' of communication. In a presentation today (27 June) at the Society for Radiological Protection's meeting on Radio wave exposures he will explain how these 'rules' might apply to the public's attitude to mobile phones and to the base stations - radio masts - needed to make the handsets usable.
