tolerable definition
tolerable means the willingness to live with a risk to secure benefits, on the understanding that it is being properly controlled. ‘Tolerability’ does not mean ‘acceptability’. Tolerating a risk does not mean that it is regarded as negligible, or something we may ignore, but rather as something that needs to be kept under review and reduced further, if and when able to be done so.
tolerable means: a level of risk of a major accident that is reduced as far as reasonably practicable, the residual risk being insignificant in relation to the amount of further input of time, resources or cost required to avert it;
tolerable. * means: operating conditions where response measures are available and not prohibitively expensive, while reducing the risk of a major accident to the furthest extent possible, beyond which no significant risk reduction can be achieved through the further input of time, resources and funds.

tolerable means where a risk of a major accident is reduced to the furthest extent beyond which the input of time, resources or cost required to further minimise the risk would be grossly disproportionate to the risk;
tolerable means: operating conditions where response measures are available and not prohibitively expensive, while the risk of a major accident has been reduced to the furthest extent possible beyond which no significant reduction of the risk is derived from the input of further time, resources or cost;
