Bowtie Risk Management - Intuitive Risk Analysis

The Bowtie method offers an intuitive and visual approach to analyzing risks and hazards. It combines the principles of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Event Tree Analysis (ETA) to clearly represent both the causes and potential consequences of a central event.


What makes the Bowtie method unique?

A central element of the Bowtie method is the barrier concept, which clearly visualizes preventive and reactive measures for risk control. This allows organizations to:

✔︎  efficiently assess hazards and risks,

✔︎ implement appropriate measures to minimize risks, and

✔︎  continuously identify weaknesses to drive improvements.




Origin and versatility across industries

Originally developed in the oil and gas industry, the Bowtie method has become a widely recognized and invaluable risk management tool across numerous sectors due to its versatility, simplicity, and effectiveness in visualizing complex safety processes. Industries that benefit from the Bowtie methodology include:

✔︎  Aviation

✔︎  Chemicals

✔︎  Defense

✔︎  Energy

✔︎ Healthcare

✔︎  Manufacturing

✔︎  Maritime

✔︎  Mining

✔︎  Oil & Gas

✔︎  Transport
