Published data show that the O&G industry has been very successful in reducing occupational accidents, but not as successful in larger scale process safety accidents. The EU has pioneered an approach using barrier diagrams, called bow ties, to identify and communicate barriers effectively, and thereafter to manage these through life. In North America, IADC offers these as the basis for demonstration of safety for MODU facilities which travel between regulatory jurisdictions.Ongoing safe operations in the UK and Norwegian offshore sectors have shown that comprehensive barrier management improves safety performance. However, communicating the information from hazard and risk registers and bow ties is essential to make sure that everyone understands the full set of barriers in use, their personal responsibilities, that these barriers are operational, and meet their effectiveness requirements.This paper provides an example demonstration combining bow tie risk management tools with a Sharepoint interface for communications as applied for a large upstream company. Two versions were created - a simpler Pull interface and more complex Push interface.
