Here's what participants said
“Great course, great trainer!”

“We are used to making bowties for our Report of Major Hazards, but those represent a static picture. Useful, but limited. This course allowed me to expand my comprehension of the tool capabilities and flexibilities to make bowties alive and contribute to a better risk awareness and risk ownership.”
Emanuele Gemelli - Petrogas
“A nice entry level course for everyone with a basic understanding of risk assessment. Gives a fresh insight in managing the barriers within your organization.”
Ferry Suitela
"Very clear explanation of the bowtie method."
