Bowtie Risk Management and Mitigation Course
Introduction:
The Bowtie methodology is used for risk assessment, risk management and risk communication and awareness. The method is designed to give a better overview of the situation in which certain risks are present; to help people understand the relationship between the risks and organizational events. The method also provides a structure to systematically analyze a hazard.
Bowtie analysis, therefore, is an increasingly popular approach to help manage risk. This program provides a critical review of the method’s benefits, limitations, and practical uses, with hands-on practice in applying the technique.
The course introduces bowtie methodology, examines the various bowtie analysis components and provides a critical review of the method's benefits, limitations and practical uses, with hands-on practice at applying the technique.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the Bowtie Risk Management and Migitation training course, participants will be able to:
- Understanding the terminology of risk assessment and the bowtie methodology
- Applying hazard identification techniques
- Creating simple bowtie risk models
- Using BowTieXP software to create more sophisticated bowtie risk models
- Applying metadata to risk controls to classify ownership, barrier type, effectiveness and more
- Applying risk estimation to the model
- Attaching audit information (using AuditXP) and actions to risk control barriers
- Analyze hazard scenarios by applying the bowtie method and designing a bowtie diagram
- Develop integrity assurance for bowtie barriers, eg in terms of HSE-critical tasks and/or
