Bowtie Method

The Bowtie method is a risk management tool that helps identify and analyze potential hazards and their consequences. It visually represents the relationship between risks and their controls using a diagram resembling a bowtie. The left side shows potential causes of a risk, while the right side illustrates the impacts if the risk occurs. In the middle, preventive and mitigating measures are outlined to manage the risk. This approach allows organizations to clearly understand risks, implement safeguards, and improve safety and decision-making processes effectively.
