Here's what participants said
“Great course, great trainer!”
Remon Voorbij - Evos

“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."

Description
During the first two days, you will learn how to analyze risks using bowties. A thorough explanation of the method is combined with hands-on exercises using the BowTieXP software. The course covers how to build and apply bowtie diagrams in your organisation. Then the third day, you will learn tips and tricks on how to run bowtie creation workshops in your organization. Even after following a course on bowtie risk analysis, it can still be daunting to step in front of a group of experts to create bowties.
