Thanks EAP. I knew ALARP is a relatively new adopted concept in the UK (some years now) but your point on the Minuteman I did not know.
Many people bandy around the term ALARP but perhaps don't appreciate that, whether something either 'is' or 'isn't' ALARP, it is a very personal thing to the one who 'owns' the risk(s) involved. Point being, asking an Internet forum if an issue is ALARP is illogical (unless the Duty Holder is on the forum and is happy to respond in public), but also contradicts the whole point of having an accountable person by asking the masses.
Most visitors here don't have the appropriate safety information to sentence risk...
