MainProfessional development in RBI ConceptRisk AcademyALARP course — justification of the minimum practically acceptable level of risk

ALARP course — justification of the minimum practically acceptable level of risk

How to justify that the risk is "sufficiently low" - and convince the regulator, management and auditors. You will learn to systematically justify risk reduction decisions to avoid excessive costs - while meeting the requirements of Rostekhnadzor and international standards.

In the context of tightening industrial safety requirements, the question increasingly arises: "Have we done enough to reduce risk?" Simply "reducing risk" is not sufficient. It is necessary to prove that it has been reduced to the minimum practically acceptable level (ALARP) - that is, further reduction is impractical in terms of costs, efforts and capabilities.

Why is this course necessary for your business?

This course provides tools for informed decision-making within risk analysis frameworks (PHA, HAZOP, LOPA, QRA) and preparation for regulatory inspections. The course is based on global best practices: UK HSE Guidance, CCPS Guidelines, API RP 750, as well as Federal Law-116 requirements and Rostechnadzor methodological guidelines. The course aims to teach:

  • Avoiding excessive investments in safety measures that do not provide proportional risk reduction.
  • Preparing for Rostechnadzor inspections with documented justification of risk levels.
  • Improving risk analysis efficiency (HAZOP/LOPA) through clear decision-making criteria.
  • Reducing legal and reputational risks during accidents - you have evidence of "reasonable efforts".

What you will receive after training

Professional knowledge:
  • The essence and origin of the ALARP principle.
  • Connection between ALARP and concepts of "acceptable risk" and "residual risk".
  • Requirements of Russian and international regulation.
Practical skills:
  • Building ALARP diagrams (cost vs risk reduction graphs).
  • Evaluating the "reasonableness" of risk reduction measures (time, money, technical feasibility).
  • Documenting ALARP justification for reports and inspections.
Documents:
  • Course completion certificate from RBI Concept.
  • Professional development certificate with registration in the FRDO registry.
  • ALARP report templates and checklists for enterprise application.
Advantages:
  • Approach approved by international auditors (TÜV, DNV).
  • Ability to immediately apply the methodology within existing RBI/PHA projects.
  • Expert support after training.

How the training is conducted

Methodology:
  • Lectures by practicing engineers with experience at Gazprom, Rosneft, international consulting companies.
  • Analysis of real cases: from justifying refusal of costly measures to successfully passing Rostechnadzor inspections.
  • Practical assignment: building ALARP diagram for a real scenario.
Conditions:
  • Online format with live interaction.
  • Small groups (up to 12 participants).
  • Access to closed platform with materials after the course.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the certificate valid? The course completion certificate is permanent. The professional development certificate is valid for approximately 3 years.
Is preliminary preparation required? Basic familiarity with risk analysis methods is recommended (for example, after HAZOP or LOPA courses). However, the course is also accessible to specialists just beginning to work with risk assessment.
