The UK Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 defined the concept of as low as reasonable practicable (ALARP). The ALARP principle is based on reasonable practicability, which simply means that hazard controls are implemented to reduce residual risk to a reasonable level of practicality. For a risk to be considered ALARP, it must be demonstrated that the cost in reducing the residual risk further would be grossly disproportionate to the benefit gained. Therefore, a risk assessment is conducted, and a cost-benefit analysis performed to determine how far to carry the hazard control. Of course, the challenge is deciding what is practical (e.g., cost, effort, time) balanced with how much benefit of lower residual risk the hazard control brings. Unfortunately, there is no standard method to demonstrate that the hazard control trade-off will meet ALARP. However, some of the following have been successfully used ...

In 1993, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) published Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical Processes (referred to henceforth as Safe Automation). Safe Automation provides guidelines for the application of automation systems used to control and shut down chemical and petrochemical processes. The popularity of one of the hazard and risk analysis methods presented in Safe Automation led to the publication of the 2001 Concept Series book from CCPS, Layer of Protection Analysis A Simplified Risk Assessment Approach. This method builds upon traditional process hazards analysis techniques. It uses a semiquantitative approach to define the required performance for each identified protective system.

Since risk analysis plays an important role in public policy decision making, efforts have been made to devise a means by which to identify, control, and communicate the risks imposed by agricultural biotechnology. A paradigm of environmental risk assessment was first introduced in the United States by Peterson and Arntzen in 2004. In this risk assessment, a number of assumptions and uncertainties were considered and presented. These include (1) problem formulation, (2) hazard identihcation, (3) dose-response relationships, (4) exposure assessment, and (5) risk characterization. Risk assessment of plant-made pharmaceuticals must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis because the plants used to produce proteins each have different risks associated with them. Many plant-derived biopharmaceuticals will challenge our ability to define an environmental hazard (Howard and Donnelly, 2004). For example, the expression of a bovine-specihc antigen produced in a potato plant and used orally in veterinary medicine would have a dramatically different set of criteria for assessment of risk than, as another example, the expression of a neutralizing nonspecihc oral antibody developed in maize to suppress Campylobacter jejuni in chickens (Peterson and Arntzen, 2004 Kirk et al., 2005).
