As Low As Reasonably Practicable (A.L.A.R.P.)

To demonstrate that risks are ALARP, one must show that enough has been done to reduce risks. In cases where the risks are well-defined, it is sufficient to show that recognized "good practices" have been implemented.

In more complex situations,  to demonstrate risks are ALARP, one should show that all reasonably practicable risk reduction measures have been implemented.

The risk in the ALARP area is the risk that can be accepted with proper management and supervision, so that it remains below the limits of unacceptable.
