Recorded Webinars: Do Bow Ties Have a Place in Alarm Management?
Bow Tie Diagrams, which have becoming increasingly popular over the last 20 years, provide a powerful and easy-to-understand way to visualize how a company controls risks to prevent major accident hazards. They illustrate the relationships between hazards, causes, potential consequences, the barriers in place to prevent the event or mitigate the results, and the degradation factors that might cause a barrier to fail. This webinar will provide an overview of the Bow Tie methodology and how it might be applied to alarm management. Content will be drawn from the new CCPS book “Bow Ties in Risk Management: A Concept Book for Process Safety” and other references. Specific examples include the Buncefield UK explosion / fire and the Gas Well Blowout and Fire at the Pryor Trust Well.

Recorded Webinars: How to Complete a Successful Remote HAZOP
The COVID-19 virus has had a profound impact on travel and business operation, resulting in many new challenges for industrial operating facilities. One of these is the completion of HAZard and Operability (HAZOP) studies, a key step in the functional safety lifecycle.
The completion of a remote HAZOP is one solution that does not require travel, but has specific challenges considering the complexity of the material reviewed and a remote team. This webinar will cover best practices for conducting remote HAZOPs to maximize the success of remote HAZOP studies including considerations for the: HAZOP team, meeting technology, meeting structure, and meeting Preparation.
