Bowtie Risk Management and Mitigation Course
Introduction:
The Bowtie methodology serves as a valuable tool for risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication. It offers a comprehensive framework for gaining a holistic understanding of the presence of specific risks and their relationship to organizational events. Furthermore, it provides a structured approach to systematically analyze hazards.
As the popularity of Bowtie analysis continues to grow, this program offers a thorough examination of its advantages, limitations, and practical applications. Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in utilizing the technique through practical exercises.
The course begins by introducing the bowtie methodology and its key components. It then proceeds to critically evaluate the benefits, limitations, and practical uses of the method. Participants will engage in hands-on practice to develop their skills in applying the bowtie technique effectively.
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
- HSE critical systems
- Devise risk acceptance criteria for hazards in bowtie
