This chapter explores the evolution of risk and safety regulation across sectors: aviation, nuclear energy, healthcare, automobiles etc. The view is that regulation evolves based on learning from previous accidents, developing failure scenarios and generating oversight such that it will not occur again. Regulatory processes are heavily influenced by science and engineering methodologies and risk evaluation is driven by probability. But risk perception is about human behaviour in a social setting. It is argued that the regulatory structure should embed the varied risk perceptions of human beings, as much as analysed risk, to reduce accidents.
