Assessment of COVID-19 barrier effectiveness using process safety techniques

Towards strengthening resilience of organizations by risk management tools: A scientometric perspective on COVID‐19 experience in a healthcare and industrial setting

“…[8][9][10][11] As a notable example, BTA has been applied for comprehensive hazard analysis of contracting COVID-19 for three receptor groups, including patients or family members at the IWK Health Centre in acute care; staff members at a British Columbia Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) wood pellet facility; and staff members at the Suncor refinery in Sarnia, Ontario. [12] The study provided effective lessons learned about the barriers implemented and potential basis for refined quantitative bow tie diagrams. [12] It should be noted that resilience is not explicitly included in the EU Seveso legislation or in the national implementation, and its assessment is definitely out of the scope of mandatory Seveso inspections, as well as of Seveso audits.…”
