MISSION ANALYSIS

&
RISK ASSESSMENT
Objectives

 To list down the safety culture adopted by

industry

 To discuss The Basic management System

 To understand Bow tie Process

 To discuss the term “ALARP”

Safety Culture
“We do things well, or we
 Generative: don’t do them”

“We work on the problems

 Proactive: we still find”

 Calculative: “We have systems in place to

manage all hazards”

“Risk Management is
 Reactive: important, we do a lot every
time we have an incident”

 Pathological: “ Who cares as long as we

not caught”
Management System
Risk Evaluation and
Management

Not separate but integral

Risk Evaluation and
Management
Stakeholders/Clients Demand

 Expectations about risks have change

 Organisations to have their risk management

on track.

 Bow Tie helps you to organise your risk

management in a way that is easily explained
 Introduction

 Bow Tie is a generic methodology that can be of

value to analyse and manage all kinds of major
risks

 Bow Tie originated in the area of Health, Safety

and Environtment (HSE) and has proved it’s
value for all kind of business risks.

 Risk

 Identify risks (What do we mean by risk?)

Risk = Probability x
Consequence
Risk Matrix
Bow Tie

 Step 1 – Identify the Hazard

Hazards

EXAMPLE?
Step 2 – Identify
The Top Event
Top Event

EXAMPLES:

oLoss of Containment
oStructural Failure
oDropped Object
oLoss of Control
oElectrical Shock
oFalls to same Level
oFalls to Lower Level
oOxygen Deficiency
oLoss of Separation
oContact
Step 3 – Identify threats
THREAT

EXAMPLES

Thermal – High Temperature

Chemical – corrosion
Biological -Bacteria/Marine growth
Radiation – Ultraviolet
Kinetic – Fatigue
Electrical – High Voltage
Environmental Condition – poor visibility/storm/eathquake
Uncertainty – design unknowns
Human Factor - incompetence
Step 4 – Identify consequences
CONSEQUENCE
Step 5 – Identify Threat
Barriers

Step 7. Identify Escalation
Factors
“How might controls fail?”, “How might their effectiveness be undermined?”
Step 8. Identify Escalation
Factor Controls
“How might controls fail?”,
“How might their effectiveness be undermined?”
Step 8. Identify Escalation
Factor Controls
“How do we make sure controls don’t fail?”

Risk Management

Effective Risk Management is only possible if

PEOPLE are assigned responsibilities for
CONTROLS
Risk Management

You cannot ‘buy’ risk management, you cannot

delegate risk management to a ‘group over
there’, it has to become part and parcel of
your overall culture
