Answer: This concept can be used to determine the acceptable level of risk, by placing the amount of risk in a given situation to balance against time, trouble, cost, and physical difficulty of taking precautions to avoid risk. If a balance is seen with risk against this variables, then the risk is acceptable.

The pitfall to applying this concept are as follows;

• it doesn't guarantee safety.

• it is always expensive, if we want to apply this principle to it best.

• it doesn't have a standard order for all kinds of risk. The application varies from risk to risk, also depending on locations of the risk.

Explanation: The ALARP principle is that risk shall be reduced as far as reasonably practicable. This means that zero risk can not be achieved. But we can achieve zero accident, using the ALARP principle.

Before we can boast for achieving ALARP, we must check if the risk is equal or less than time spent,cost, the trouble or challenge, and the physical difficulty of taking a good measure to avoid the risk. If the risk is equal or less than this variables, that means that the risk has been reduced as far as reasonably practicable.

Hello. You did not show the text to which this question refers, which makes it difficult for it to be answered with the textual evidence you want. However, I will help you in the best possible way.

If we research Colombus' relationship with the native peoples he met, we will come to the conclusion that he realized that these peoples would be perfect to be used as labor for the purposes of the Spanish crown in the Americas. For this reason, he did not wish to exterminate these peoples, but used them for the work that was being planned. He also found these people very naive and generous, in a way. However, he saw them as pagans, who were to be converted to Christianity.

andre [41]

Vasco Nunez de Balboa  was the first European to spot the Pacific Ocean. In addition, he helped found the first successful European colony on the American continent.

Balboa was born in Spain in 1475. He left for America in 1500 and settled for a few years on the island of Hispaniola (where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are today) in the Antilles. In 1510, he embarked with a group for a colony already established by the Spanish in present-day Colombia. Upon arrival, he discovered that the colony had been abandoned. Balboa convinced the few remaining inhabitants to go with him to Darién, in present-day Panama. There they created a stable colony.
