Barrier based risk management in the chemical industy

One of the biggest challenges this industry faces is having an enterprise-wide view of its processes and what risks they pose to people and the environment. How do you make sure that you are in control on a daily basis, when working in a highly complex organization?

In order to provide a safe work environment, it is necessary that there is a safety management system in place that shows if controls are really working as planned and that helps everyone to follow safety standards and improve safety across the enterprise.

With our software, we offer a way to centralize all bowtie, incident and audit information in a single diagram or database, enabling organizations to control risks and improve safety.
