BowTie risk assessment tool to help you manage risks

BowTie is a simple visual tool that makes communicating risk easy – helping you boost food safety culture and identify barriers for allergen management.

As globalisation puts more distance between raw materials and final products, and as regulatory requirements grow in complexity, it’s time for businesses in the food and drink industry to enhance their HACCP plans with BowTie for better risk communication.

For decades, businesses in the food and drink industry drove their risk management system by putting in place control measures which solely focused on meeting HACCP requirements. Consequently, some small and unexpected failures may not have been identified until they grow into big issues.

Are you in control of your risks?

Since no business wants to be faced with incidents which can be damaging to the bottom line and their brand image, other industries have successfully moved beyond traditional risk management methods of regulatory compliance to a total risk management control by using the BowTie Method.

This method is founded on a comprehensive understanding of how each identified hazard can impact the operations, compliance, customers, and employees at every stage of operations.

The ability to identify potential risks to overcome or offset, but also to communicate them in advance, is the core to a business future success.
