Cost Benefit Analysis

ALARP Demonstrations

ALARP is defined by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as:

“as low as reasonably practicable”, the core is the concept of “reasonably practicable”; this involves weighing a risk against the trouble, time and money needed to control it. Thus, ALARP describes the level to which we expect to see workplace risks controlled.

Why carry out an ALARP Demonstration and Cost Benefit Analysis?

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) demonstrations are essential for ensuring that safety measures are both effective and economically justified. At OTECSA Consulting, we specialise in conducting comprehensive studies to help businesses assess and manage risks within these frameworks.

We provide expert guidance to evaluate whether proposed safety measures meet ALARP criteria. By comparing the costs of implementation with the benefits of risk reduction, we ensure that businesses achieve compliance while optimising resources. Additionally, our team uses industry-leading methodologies to identify the most practical and cost-effective solutions.

For example, we recently helped a manufacturing client refine their safety protocols, saving significant costs by prioritising high-impact measures. This approach not only improved compliance but also ensured operational efficiency.

ALARP also plays a critical role in CoMAH requirements, including the MHHHRA Guidance which you can find out more about here.
