Bringing safety risk management to life
Bowtie methodology
A BowTie is a diagram that visualises the risk you are dealing with in a simple picture. The diagram is shaped like a bow-tie, creating a clear differentiation between proactive and reactive risk management. The power of a BowTieXP diagram is that it gives you an overview of multiple scenarios. In short, it provides a simple, visual explanation of a risk that would be difficult to explain otherwise.

Learning from incidents is often a challenge. One of the main reasons is the incident analysis does not provide an adequate basis for high quality, realistic recommendations that will change the organisation for the better. IncidentXP will assist you in making sound recommendations focused on a specific barrier up to the organisational level.

Auditing is an invaluable way of gaining insight into barrier quality and effectiveness. A pre, rather then post-mortem. The AuditXP add-on provides the "check" to ensure the quality of the barriers because assuming barriers that have not failed are effective is dangerous.

The UK CAA ran an extensive project to create a set of template aviation bowties. They are a very useful reference and a great starting place for your bowtie project.
