Bowtie Analysis
Risk method showing threats leading to a top event and consequences, with preventive and mitigative barriers on each side.
Examples
- 01A bowtie analysis of a forklift collision shows threats such as blind corners on the left and consequences such as injury on the right.
- 02In the safety audit, the team checks each barrier on the bowtie analysis, such as mirrors and speed limits, to see if it really works on the floor.
- 03When the bowtie analysis reveals that one barrier depends only on training, a physical barrier is added and its owner is named.
