ALARP Principle- As Low As Reasonably Practical
ALARP Principle
INTOLERABLE REGIONRisk cannot be justified
ACCEPTABLE REGIONRisk reduction not likely to
be required
ALARP REGIONRisk is undertaken only if a benefit is desired and steps
must be taken to reduce the risk is As Low As Reasonably
Practical (ALARP)
Driving a car
Being struck by lightning
Being struck by a meteorite
Based on: NHS – Quality Improvement Scotland
ALARP - Example The HSE classify risks into three groups
• those that are not acceptable which would fall within the top of this triangle in what is know as the intolerable region i.e where the chances of death are greater than 1 in a thousand. If we were to operate a business which exposed the public to these sorts of risk, we would be prosecuted.
• those that are so unlikely that they can be disregarded. To give you an idea of how low these risks are, the risk of being struck by lightning would fall into this region, as would winning the lottery (you are more likely to be struck by lightning).
• those between these two extremes where the HSE considers the risk to be broadly acceptable as long as you have done everything that is practical to minimise it i.e those that fall within the ALARP region.
