Templates & use cases

Start from a model that already speaks your language.

Six worked templates — each a complete bowtie and a control register, ready to adapt. The vocabulary changes between disciplines; the shape does not.

Want to drive it yourself? Open the interactive preview — explore a live, read-only bowtie and read every control — or get a guided walkthrough in a demo.

Process-safety bowtie: loss of containment of flammable hydrocarbon.
Process Safety / LOPA

Loss of containment of flammable hydrocarbon

Major-accident hazard on a process plant — corrosion, overpressure, mechanical impact, and maintenance error, through to pool fire, vapour cloud explosion, and toxic release.

Cybersecurity bowtie: unauthorised access to customer database.
Information Security

Unauthorised access to customer database

Data-breach scenario — phishing, exposed secrets, web vulnerabilities, insider misuse, and supply chain, through to exfiltration, regulatory action, and reputational harm.

Medical-device bowtie: unintended drug overdose from infusion pump.
Healthcare / ISO 14971

Unintended drug overdose from infusion pump

Patient-safety event for smart-pump infusion — programming error, drug mix-up, pump malfunction, and environment, through to patient harm, MDR, and litigation.

Reliability bowtie: critical pump failure causing unplanned shutdown.
Reliability / RCM

Critical pump failure causing unplanned shutdown

Rotating-equipment failure on critical service — bearing failure, cavitation, seal failure, process upset, and ageing assets, through to production outage, secondary damage, a safety event, and financial impact.

Psychosocial-hazards bowtie: uncontrolled exposure to workplace psychosocial hazards.
WHS / Psychosocial

Uncontrolled exposure to psychosocial hazards

Built on the WA Code of Practice — excessive demands, low control, inappropriate behaviour, poor change management, isolated work, and traumatic exposure, through to psychological injury, fatigue incidents, burnout, and regulatory action.

Reliability / RCM

Critical pump failure causing unplanned shutdown

Rotating-equipment failure on critical service — bearing failure, cavitation, seal failure, process upset, and ageing assets, through to production outage, secondary damage, a safety event, and financial impact.

This is the template behind the control register shown here: every control with its criticality, control effectiveness, degradation factors, and performance standards, ready to export to PDF.
