Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
The
concept of cause-consequence analysis is a combination of the inductive and
deductive reasoning of logic diagrams (e.g., event-tree analysis or fault-tree
analysis). The method has been used to identify the basic causes and
consequences of potential accidents. Likewise, bow-tie diagramming provides a
pictorial representation of the risk assessment process that, during the last
decade, has become increasingly popular, especially in the sector of oil and
gas offshore exploration and production. Because of their unparalleled advantages
demonstrating that major hazards are identified and controlled, bow-tie diagrams
are widely used in Europe and Australia to support safety reports and health, safety,
and environment (HSE) cases for drilling and greenfield major hazard facility
onshore projects. Other applications have been reported for healthcare,
nuclear, transport, and organizational culture.
Incorporating management system techniques
Bowtie method of analysis is a qualitative analysis incorporating management system techniques. The bowtie has become popular as a structured method to assess risk where a quantitive approach is not possible or desirable. The success of the diagram is that it is simple and easy for the non- specialist to understand. The idea is a simple one of combining the cause (fault tree) and the consequence (event tree). When the fault tree is drawn on the left hand side and the event tree is drawn on the right hand side with the hazard drawn as a "knot" in the middle the diagram looks a bit like a bowtie as shown.
The five days, basic and advanced, Bow-Tie Analysis Training Course is specially designed to demonstrate the risk-based approach in the Oil & Gas Industry Projects and will explore how the bow-tie model would fit in the risk management process for upstream, Midstream and downstream projects and facilities, and it shares a representative Bow-Tie case study application in making engineering controls operational.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
