Release Notes - August 2026

Bow Tie control types

Control measures recorded against a Risk can now be identified as:

• Preventative controls – controls intended to reduce the likelihood of an unwanted event occurring.
• Recovery controls – controls intended to reduce the consequences if the event occurs.

Control types are displayed when Risks are linked during Incident investigations and in the Critical Risk Control Report. The Risk Register's Control Coverage information also helps identify Risks that do not have preventative or recovery controls recorded.

See Using Bow Tie Controls in the Risk Register and Incident Investigations.

Control verification

Risk owners and authorised Health & Safety users can now record whether individual control measures have been verified, have an issue, or could not be verified.

• A scheduled Risk review action is assigned to the person responsible for the Risk.
• Anyone can view verification information and download the control checklist.
• The person responsible for the Risk and authorised Health & Safety users can update verification results.
• If a control fails verification, Engage creates a corrective action for the person responsible. The action can be reassigned and its due date adjusted where required.
• Verification changes are recorded in the Risk Change Log.
• Verification status filters on the Risk Register help staff find Risks requiring attention.

If the person responsible has been terminated and no replacement has been nominated, the review action defaults to the company Health & Safety contact.

See Verifying Risk Controls and Managing Failed Controls.

The Add Risk and Edit Risk screens have been refreshed to make Risk assessment and control information easier to work through.

• The Risk matrix uses a clearer visual layout when recording Risk ratings.
• Control measures are displayed in separate boxes, making individual controls easier to review and update.
• Control responsibility, control strategy and Bow Tie control type information are grouped with the relevant control measure.
