Effective risk management requires a thorough understanding of the accident pathways linking threats to potentially catastrophic consequences and the measures implemented to prevent this happening. Bowtie diagrams provide a simple visualization of the relationships and the barriers preventing the catastrophic consequences. Barrier diagrams are easy to interpret unlike the complex and/or numerical results from other risk assessment methods (e.g. PHA, QRA, LOPA) in a way that is easier for non-experts, workforce, engineers and managers to understand.

This course introduces the Barrier Methodology and provides an awareness of its uses by working through the steps involved to identify process safety layers.
