Abstract :
This paper explores some of the common difficulties in interpreting the ALARP principle, and traces the potential effects of these difficulties on system risk. We introduce two categories of risk reduction approach which permit us to characterise the risk profile of a system in more detail and discuss their application to Systems of Systems (SoS).
