As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)


As it is generally known that plant operation is undertaken with risks. Risk is the possibility that harm (illness,
injury or death) might occur when plant personnel or equipment expose to a hazard. Theoretically, all
foreseeable risks must be identified and managed through a structured process. Because risk cannot be
completely eliminated, it is however possible to be minimized to a level that is As Low As Reasonably
Practicable (ALARP).

ALARP principle is basically represented by the In practice, the management of risk, such that a

to the risk reduction gained. Or another word,
ALARP is simply a balancing of risk reduction and
