Through the Safeguard program, Boots & Coots has continued to forge the way in providing a complete risk management program. Safeguard can help identify several areas of potential risk and possible improvements, and along with the utilization of teamwork, it can work to mitigate problems. Using the BowTieXP software (under license), Boots & Coots’ provides the services of the BowTieXP software to clients. Execution of this method begins with the process of facilitating a risk assessment meeting with a team of operational, safety, and technical experts to insure a complete assessment. The team is introduced to components of a particular scenario to build a “bow-tie” layer¬-by-layer determinant that clearly illustrates how the risk is managed.
