Bowtie Barrier Assurance
Visualize Risk and Safeguards with Bowtie Analysis
Visualize how hazards are controlled using Bowtie analysis. Map threats, barriers, and safeguards to understand and manage risk. Transform complex studies into clear visuals that improve communication and decision-making.
Build Bowtie Diagrams from LOPA Analysis
Create Bowtie diagrams directly within the system or generate them automatically from existing LOPA worksheets. The module allows organizations to visualize the relationship between threats, barriers, and consequences by leveraging the causes and safeguards already defined during risk assessments. By building Bowties from LOPA data, teams can quickly transform detailed risk analysis into a clear visual representation of how hazards are prevented and mitigated across the process.

Evergreen IPL Registers
Maintain a continuously updated view of the barriers credited in risk assessments across the facility. The Credited IPL Register provides an evergreen inventory of safeguards and independent protection layers identified in LOPA studies, allowing organizations to understand how risk reduction is achieved across units and systems. Summary reporting provides visibility into the types and distribution of barriers implemented, supporting ongoing barrier management, verification, and assurance of the protections relied upon in risk assessments.

Barrier Classification
Classify safeguards within the Bowtie framework and evaluate their effectiveness as part of the overall risk reduction strategy. The module allows organizations to categorize barriers as preventative or mitigative and assign performance metrics such as Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD). By defining barrier types and performance expectations, teams gain clearer visibility into how safeguards reduce risk and ensure barrier performance aligns with the protection assumptions used in risk assessments.
