Scenario based qualitative risk-management technique

Page last modified
February 22 2024

BowTie is a scenario based qualitative risk-management technique to analyse, visualise and improve the operational situation of an installation or during an activity with regard to safe practices.

BowTie visualises a systematic overview of the different risks, corresponding barriers, preventive and mitigating measures. It uses available data, procedures, descriptions and systems, making a clear overview of multiple plausible scenarios.

Versatec can help you with structured, realistic, reliable and usable BowTies, ensuring that all Safety and Environmental Critical Elements (SECEs) are properly addressed.

However, for companies to be really proactive in risk management Versatec can support them by implementing Dynamic Barrier Management to monitor health of the barriers and status of the risk in real time. Amongst other by using Viewport on top of the BowTies.
