In the previous ISO 31000 blogs, a plan has been drawn up and communicated clearly with the help of bowties. The next question then becomes, how do we know our plan is working as we had imagined? Is our paper world close to the reality of the real world? In ISO 31000’s framework, we Monitor [...]
Guest blog by David Hatch from Process Safety Integrity As BowtieXP users become more proficient in model development (often guided by the CCPS/EI concept book which includes significant contributions from CGE) they wish to exploit enhanced functionality to provide more accurate risk assessments to inform their decision making.
