ALARP
ALARP stands for As Low As Reasonably Practicable, and is a term often used in the milieu of safety-critical and high-integrity systems. The ALARP principle is that the residual risk shall be as low as reasonably practicable.For a risk to be ALARP it must be possible to demonstrate that the cost involved in reducing the risk further would be grossly disproportionate to the benefit gained. The ALARP principle arises from the fact that it would be possible to spend infinite time, effort and money attempting to reduce a risk to zero. It should not be understood as simply a quantitive measure of benefit against detriment. It is more a best common practice of judgement of the balance of risk and societal benefit.
