Overview

Introduction to Bow Tie (Pre-recorded Webinar) course overview

“Critical risk” can feel like a buzzword, but when things go wrong, the consequences can be serious and life-changing for your people and your organisation. Without a clear understanding of how these risks develop and how they are controlled, it can be difficult to see how hazards escalate or where gaps may exist. This pre-recorded Introduction to Bow Tie webinar is designed for those involved in managing or supporting critical risks who need a foundational understanding of the Bow Tie approach and how it supports effective risk management.
 
We don’t rely on text-heavy content or theoretical explanations. Instead, this pre-recorded webinar introduces learners to the Bow Tie methodology in a clear and structured way, supported by examples that reinforce key concepts. Participants develop an understanding of how risks develop, how controls are applied, and how the Bow Tie approach provides visibility of critical risks and their management, enabling them to support its application in practice.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on building practical capability so individuals can support a structured and consistent approach to managing critical risks. Participants step back into the workplace equipped to understand the Bow Tie methodology, recognise how it is applied, and contribute to more effective risk management practices.

Our approach

+IMPAC's Introduction to Bow Tie (Pre-recorded Webinar) training approach

IMPAC teaches Introduction to Bow Tie (pre-recorded webinar) in a way that is structured, practical, and easy to follow. Learners are taken through the main parts of a Bow Tie, including hazards, causes, consequences, and controls, using clear explanations and worked examples to show how the approach is used in workplaces.

Because this is an introductory course, the focus stays on helping learners understand the principles behind the Bow Tie risk management approach and how the method supports conversations about risk and controls. The webinar introduces how Bow Tie diagrams are read and used so learners can follow and support the approach more confidently in their own workplace.

Introduction to Bow Tie Analysis training gives learners a practical foundation in how the Bow Tie method is used to understand and communicate critical risks. The webinar explains how hazards, causes, consequences, and controls fit together so learners can better follow risk discussions and support more structured risk management in the workplace.

This webinar suits people involved in critical risk conversations or wanting to strengthen their health and safety capability. That includes workers, supervisors, managers, health and safety representatives, and others needing a clearer introduction to how Bow Tie thinking supports visibility of controls and risk pathways.

Bow Tie analysis training is commonly used where organisations want a clearer way to understand critical risks, escalation pathways, and the controls needed to prevent serious events. While it is not a specific training requirement under New Zealand health and safety law, Bow Tie methodology can support stronger critical risk management and control visibility in higher-risk environments.

A basic understanding of risk and risk management is recommended before starting this course. Learners do not need advanced technical knowledge, but some familiarity with workplace hazards and controls will help provide useful context for the training.

This training is delivered as a self-paced pre-recorded webinar through IMPAC’s LMS, allowing learners to complete the course online while working through bow tie risk management concepts and controls at their own pace.

The pre-recorded webinar takes approximately half a day to complete, depending on the learner’s pace. Delivered online through IMPAC’s LMS, learners can complete the training at a time that suits them while covering the core principles of Bow Tie risk management.

Yes, this pre-recorded webinar includes a short quiz to confirm learners understand the key Bow Tie risk management concepts covered in the course.

To complete the quiz for this course, you'll need a government-issued photo ID and a working camera on your device. This course uses Asgard, a biometric identity verification tool built into IMPAC's learning system, which checks your ID against your face to confirm it's really you sitting the assessment. Because pre-recorded webinars can be watched anytime and from anywhere, this step helps ensure the certificate reflects who actually completed the training. Asgard discards your ID immediately after verification — it isn't stored in any system.
