BowTieXP is the most widely used risk assessment software, based on the bow-tie method. It allows you to easily create bow-tie diagrams to assess risk. BowTieXP is unique in its ability not only to visualise complex risks in an understandable way, but also to develop detailed risk-based improvement plans.
A bow-tie diagram allows you to visualise the risk you face in a single, understandable diagram. The diagram is shaped like a bow tie and creates a clear distinction between the proactive and reactive aspects of risk management. In BowTieXP, the bow-tie diagram gives you an overview of several plausible incident scenarios and indicates what barriers you have put in place to control these scenarios. BowTieXP software is developed with the end user in mind, making it one of the easiest risk assessment tools to use. It's easy to create a diagram in BowTieXP, but the software also allows you to update the diagram so that it always reflects the current state of your safety barriers.
IncidentXP enables an organisation to maximise the knowledge gained from incidents: combine the results of a survey with a bow-tie risk assessment to detect trends and improve your risk assessment and management.
