Summary

Measures and options for risk reduction to ALARP levels

ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) is a commonly used but often misunderstood concept.

In this two-day course we introduce you to the concept of As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) and run through how to demonstrate that risk has been reduced to ALARP levels.

Qualitative and semi-quantitative approaches and cost-benefit analysis techniques are explored with the use of the many activities that participants undertake.

Who should attend?

Project and operational managers, engineers and HSE professionals.

How will I benefit?

    After the workshop you will be able to:

    • Identify different options available for risk reduction (control hierarchy)
    • Decide when risk reduction measures can best be used
    • Describe the concepts of “tolerability of risk” and “As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)"
    • Apply the ALARP concept and conduct an ALARP assessment to an appropriate level of detail
