Aimed at enhancing and streamlining the risk assessment process across a range of sectors, Bowtie Master will give these students the opportunity to experience pioneering industry-relevant software as part of their studies.

David Jamieson, Salus Technical managing director and founder, will carry out a lecture for undergraduate students on their Chemical Engineering degree course which will form part of a module on ‘Advanced Process Safety’, said: “Bowtie diagrams are an excellent training tool to help understand our risks, the management of our barriers and what can make them fail.

“A cloud-based application, Bowtie Master facilitates the building and sharing of these bowtie diagrams, offering unprecedented capabilities to design, collaborate on and share these diagrams across disciplines and organisations.”
