What does ALARP mean?

ALARP means reducing risk to a level where further reduction would be grossly disproportionate to the safety benefit gained.

What is an ALARP Assessment?

An ALARP Assessment is a structured process used to demonstrate that risks have been reduced As Low As Reasonably Practicable.

When is ALARP Assessment required?

It is commonly required when significant safety risks remain after assessment, when additional controls are being considered, or when management needs clear justification for risk acceptance.

What is the outcome of an ALARP Assessment?

The outcome is a clear justification of whether risks are tolerable, whether further controls are required & what actions should be taken.

Who should be involved in an ALARP Assessment?

Relevant participants may include process safety, engineering, operations, maintenance, HSE, technical authorities & management representatives.

What information is needed for an ALARP Assessment?

Typical inputs include hazard study findings, risk assessment results, existing safeguards, proposed risk reduction options, cost information, operational constraints, and relevant technical data.

ALARP Assessment For Defensible Risk
Reduction Decisions

An ALARP Assessment helps organisations demonstrate that risks have been reduced As Low As Reasonably Practicable.

Pure Integrity supports clients in evaluating process safety risks, reviewing existing safeguards, and identifying whether additional risk reduction measures are required. Our approach helps asset owners make clearer, more defensible decisions where safety, cost, practicality, and operational impact must be balanced.

This is especially important for hazardous operations where major accident risks, regulatory expectations, and management assurance need to be clearly documented.

The Process

How We Assess Risk
Reduction & Practicality

Pure Integrity begins by reviewing the identified hazard scenario, existing safeguards, risk level, and available risk reduction options.

We then assess whether further controls are reasonably practicable by considering safety benefit, technical feasibility, implementation effort, cost, and operational impact. From there, we document the ALARP justification and provide clear recommendations to support decision-making, assurance, and action close-out.

Problem We Solve

Uncertainty Around Additional Controls

We assess whether further risk reduction measures are reasonably practicable.

Gaps Between Risk Assessment And Decision-Making

We help translate risk findings into clear, practical actions and justifications.

Compliance And Assurance Pressure

We support organisations that need stronger evidence for regulatory, audit, or internal assurance purposes.

Balancing Safety, Cost & Practicality

We help evaluate risk reduction options in a way that is technically sound & operationally realistic.
