Introduction
Where appropriate, we employ and supply management tools to assist our clients in demonstrating the through-life compliance of systems and processes. We also undertake risk and technical modelling work as appropriate in support of our consultancy activities. These tools include:
- Our own Hazard And Risk Management System (HARMS);
- An Inventory of Hazardous Materials Database (previously known as Green Passport), to demonstrate compliance with environmental requirements for ships;
- Dynamic simulation tools, for instance to demonstrate that a transport system is operating without undue congestion and associated safety-related risk;
- Sophisticated mapping and geospatial software, for analyzing and displaying geographic data.
Hazard and Risk Management System (HARMS)
HARMS is a software tool which offers the level of control over planning and undertaking of safety, environment and risk management activities associated with a variety of projects and programmes that current regulations and industry best practice demand.
Whether you are responsible for the safe design, operation or the environmental impacts of a facility, equipment, system or platform, HARMS helps you record, interrogate and retrieve information so that it is easily comprehended and can be efficiently and effectively managed.
For further details information on the HARMS please click here.
To augment the safety management capability offered by HARMS, BMT Isis are experienced to use the following complementary software packages:
- BMT HazMat;
- Adelard Safety Case Environment (ASCE);
- Governors, BOW Tie XP.
BMT Isis also has personnel trained and experienced in the HVR Cassandra system and other propriety tools available to MoD contractors only.
Simulation & Modelling
With the use of simulation and modelling software you can see the effects of your decisions before you make them, allowing for forward planning in a way that was previously impossible. Using the software it is possible to simulate entire transport systems to look for areas of traffic congestion, or plan for the most effective location to store your newest emergency vehicle so as to reduce travel times to potential incidents.
With a complete simulation of your system it is possible to test almost any hypothesis you may have, without the expense of buying new equipment, or changing schedules. This allows you to test out every idea you have and to shape and select the best option in advance, in view of financial, safety, availability and other considerations.

Geographic Information Systems
A Geographic Information System (GIS) stores and performs analysis on data associated with its physical location. This allows data to be interpreted depending on the geographical features that may surround it, or in relation to other members of the dataset that may be physically close to it.
Using GIS software allows the user to visualise situations that cannot normally be understood from coordinate systems alone. For example, a GIS can quickly display the physical locations of accidents on a recognisable map, or examine hotspots of traffic congestion on a density grid.
