Learn about barrier based risk management
Don’t take our word for it…
“Barrier failure or weakening is often a causal factor in accidents and incidents. State Supervision of Mines uses bowties to identify the weak barriers by analyzing different incidents.
The insights from the bowties are helpful in assisting the gas network operators with their safety programs.”
State Supervision of Mines, The Netherlands“Some people were a bit skeptical, until we started making bowties in BowTieXP. They could actually see the progression of the threat, through the top event, ultimately ending up with the undesirable consequence, and what controls are in place to prevent this. If we had to do exactly the same in a text document, it would have to be a very large document to cover the same information. The bowtie format is very effective.”

Using bowties to classify barriers – The Chemical Engineer
Earlier this month, The Chemical Engineer issued an article on ‘Using bowties to classify barriers’. Bowtie diagrams provide a simple and powerful description of how risks are managed and readily leads on to identification of gaps or omissions within the system. However, not all barriers or control/mitigation measures are of equal value so it is helpful [...]
Sharing safety knowledge by modeling common aviation risk
Earlier this year, AeroSafety World magazine issued an article on ‘Modeling Common Aviation Risk’. This article talks about an initiative to share safety knowledge within the Aviation Industry, without having to swap internal data. This initiative is called CARM which stands for ‘Common Aviation Risk Models’. (If you’re a Flight Safety Foundation member, you can read [...]
Main changes in revised ISO 31000 standard – Keep risk management simple
Earlier this year the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) revised their ISO 31000 standard. With this ISO 31000:2018 standard, ISO promises to "keep risk management simple" and "deliver a clearer, shorter and more concise guide that will help organizations use risk management principles to improve planning and make better decisions."

UK government services recommend bowtie to keep overview of risk management practices
Last week gov.uk published an article by the Ministry of Defence and Military Aviation Authority, on the bowtie method as a visual tool to keep an overview of risk management practices, rather than replacing existing processes or systems: According to the MOD and MAA, bowtie can simplify Air Safety System case (ASSC)-based auditing techniques and improve [...]
