ALARP 2025

The ALARP principle is at the heart of UK Health and Safety legislation. Given ongoing innovation in technology and processes, it is critical that the standards and methods used to demonstrate ALARP are constantly challenged. Otherwise, companies risk significant financial, legal, and public backlash.

Summary

The ALARP principle is at the heart of UK Health and Safety legislation. Given ongoing innovation in technology and processes, it is critical that the standards and methods used to demonstrate ALARP are constantly challenged. Otherwise, companies risk significant financial, legal, and public backlash.

This annual seminar will showcase fresh case studies from engineering industry leaders applying best practice to practical demonstrations of ALARP. High-level discussions of the different methods used within this concept will compare the use of quantitative and qualitative approaches and the legal viewpoints attached to each.

Attend to learn how to apply best practice to ensure compliance and manage evolving risks, and to benefit from case studies from a wide selection of industries, enabling attendees to learn from and network with a diverse range of peers.
