ALARP

Isn't it a criminal offence for an employer to, knowingly, operate a non-ALARP system?

By the way it was clear from Gp Capt Hickmen's sworn statements that it was him, or a member of his IPT, that introduced the phrase "tolerably safe" that appears in QinetiQ's Fuel Safety report of Oct 2007, and not QinetiQ. He clearly thinks that "tolerable" refers to a level of safety and not a level of risk. Such a statement resulted in Des Browne declaring the fuel system "safe" on 4th Dec 2007.

So the QinetiQ report should read "The risk is tolerable, but nor ALARP". And this was repeated by Hickman, on oath.
