Bowtie Analysis Tools: How Successful Companies Manage Risk

Many EHS professionals struggle with managing workplace risks, whether it’s accurately assessing them, controlling them, or getting the entire workplace involved in the process. 

This was evident during the tragic incident that occurred on October 25, 2016, at the Thunder River Rapids ride at the Dreamworld theme park in Queensland, Australia. Four individuals died in that accident, and investigations afterwards revealed that workers had not received adequate training in risk identification and control.

Risk bowties offer an effective way to synthesize information about risk pathways and related preventative and mitigative controls into one easily understood diagram; when done right, they have the power to prepare workers to take action to prevent accidents like Thunder River Rapids. The visual and intuitive nature of risk bowties makes them ideal tools to train workers about workplace risk, and to engage them in the process of mapping out the risk pathways. Risk bowties are a great way to share a common understanding of risks and controls that’s more likely to prevent serious accidents—and to build and sustain a strong EHS culture.  

During this 60-minute webinar, VelocityEHS experts Dana Garber and Phil Mole described the advantages of risk bowties as a key risk management tool, explained how to build a risk bowtie using modern EHS software, and described the benefits of having the right data in the right place.
