SFAIRP vs ALARP | Risk! Engineers Talk Governance Podcast

Listen Later

In this episode of the podcast Risk! Engineers talk Governance, due diligence engineers Gaye Francis and Richard Robinson discuss the difference between SFAIRP & ALARP.

ALARP versus SFAIRP is still creating a lot of confusion within the risk industry and organisations, this discussion clarifies the difference and why organisations must work towards SFAIRP.

...the Act actually goes to some trouble and the precursor tool is the Victorian OHS Act 2004 has it in there… a particular clause or section that says you must achieve the highest level of precaution as is reasonably practicable.  So whilst it doesn't define SFAIRP, it does define reasonably practical. And then another portion of the Act says you've gotta achieve the highest level that you can and that's what the SFAIRP principle's all about.
