Bowtie Analysis

Bowtie Analysis is a risk management tool that visually represents how risks can lead to incidents and how to prevent or control them. It consists of a diagram shaped like a bowtie. The knot in the center represents an event, while the left side shows potential causes (hazards) and preventive measures, and the right side outlines consequences and response strategies. This method helps organizations understand and manage risks by clearly displaying the relationship between causes, the event itself, and the actions needed to mitigate negative outcomes. It's widely used in safety-focused industries.
