ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable)
As Low As Reasonably Practicable
Risk principle requiring reduction until further reduction would be grossly disproportionate to the benefit.
Examples
- 01Under ALARP, the plant adds a light curtain to the press because it costs EUR 8,000 and removes a serious crushing risk.
- 02During the safety walk, the supervisor checks whether remaining risks at the robot cell have really been reduced ALARP or simply accepted.
- 03When the ALARP review shows a cheap guard was never fitted, the gap gets an owner and a closing date within two weeks.
