         ## Identify your risks proactively, based on evolving standards
        
         Identifying your needs is an important step in developing your process safety systems. It helps come up with solutions that are adapted to your equipment and your specific operations. For example, external factors related to urban sprawl near industrial areas and everchanging standards and codes can also affect your operational compliance—a requirement for your licence to operate.
        
        This is a dynamic exercise that must be reviewed regularly to ensure your workers and assets are protected and your environmental mitigation and monitoring plans are effective.
        
        ## Develop safe, cost-effective and practical solutions
        
        You want to meet your safety obligations while prioritizing project profitability. You can rely on the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle, an industry practice designed to achieve *the lowest level of risk that's reasonably possible in a real-life situation*. Your goal: to set up protection systems and means of mitigation that will help achieve established security criteria while maintaining a pragmatic approach based on your operational reality.
