Individual Risk Criteria
▪ Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS), 1999 individual
risk criteria.
Situation Suggested tolerable risk for loss of life
Existing engineered slopes 10-4 /annum person most at risk
10-5 /annum average of person at risk
New engineered slopes 10-5 /annum person most at risk
10-6 /annum average of person at risk
Note: Acceptable risks are usually considered to be one order of
magnitude smaller than the tolerable risks.
