BowTie Barrier Assurance

The Bow Tie Module incorporates existing hazard analysis data to facilitate Risk Analysis and Risk Assessments on mitigative and preventive barriers. Bow Tie analysis is becoming increasingly common at communicating important risk mitigation measures for a wide range of facilities. Integration with the evergreen data in the LOPA Module ensures analysis is using the most up-to-date risk information. Bow Ties provide a visual and interactive experience; allowing users to identify preventive and mitigating barriers. With the barrier assurance workflow, users have a complete picture of all barrier levels to determine the total risk of a hazardous event within the plant.
