2015 SAFETY4SEA – Gundula Stadie-Frohbös
Risk assessment and safety barrier management for tanker operations Gundula Stadie-Frohboes, Head of Dep. Risk & Safety, Systems Engineering, DNV GL gave a presentation on ''Risk assessment and safety barrier management for tanker operations'' at 2015 SAFETY4SEA Athens Forum.

This problem can be controlled through "barrier management" which uses the bow-tie method in a continuous way. The bow-tie is in simple words a combination of fault and event tree methodology. An incident can happen if several prevention barriers, such as design, manufacturing control, operating and maintenance according to their specification, fail. She explained that for the barrier management several bow-ties are developed and combined and the barriers are continuously monitored.
