Using Quick Add to create Threats, Consequences and Controls
Overview Using the Quick Add method allows the fast creation of BowTie threat, consequence and control data for a hazard / top event. How data is Structured In BowTie Pro for each Hazard: Threats Controls (Preventative) – reducing or preventing the top event from occurring Consequences Controls (recovery/mitigation) – If the top event does occur these are stopping or reducing the consequence results This is the data that can be
Hazards Screen
Hazards are the starting point for creating and managing BowTies. Bowties are usually used to manage high risk hazards that may have been identified in a Hazard Register. The Hazard screen is the gateway to the BowTie diagrams. At the top of the screen is a drop-down list which allows the Case to be changed. Below this the screen is laid out as a tree view with the Locations and
Hazard Register
The Hazard Register identifies and records the hazards associated with an activity, process or workplace. It typically records details such as the hazard description, its source or location, potential consequences, existing controls, responsible persons and actions required to eliminate or reduce the hazard. This method works well with BowTie analysis. Once a significant hazard has been identified, a BowTie can be used to analyse it in more detail by showing

Where to get the BowTie data
BowTie Pro provides several ways to create a BowTie. You can quickly generate a starting framework using our AI-powered models, import and industry example file or recreate information you may have from existing BowTies in an Excel or Visio file. Regardless of how you begin, it is important to remember that a BowTie is typically an evolution of your existing risk management information rather than something created entirely from scratch.
Risk registers and BowTie
Risk registers and BowTie diagrams are complementary risk management tools that serve different but closely related purposes. A risk register provides a structured record of identified risks, typically documenting the hazard, potential consequences, likelihood, severity, existing controls and planned actions. It offers an organisation wide view of the risk profile, making it an effective tool for governance, compliance, reporting and prioritisation. However, as risk registers are generally presented in tabular
