6. Conclusions and further work
In this paper a concept for visualizing risk related to work orders has been developed. The focus has been on enabling the personnel involved in establishing and managing work orders to identify and manage hazards for major accidents. Based on feedback from the participants at the design iterations the concept is easy to understand and present very valuable information that is not normally available to them in their existing systems. The final design of the concept study is based on the iterations with expert evaluations that was possible to perform during this study and is not meant to be a final product of any sort, it rather demonstrates how information can be aggregated from different sources (work order systems, barrier management systems, hazard and risk analysis, safe job analysis, etc.) and presented in a way that supports hazard identification and decision making processes related to managing work orders. Ideally, we would have run many more iterations and with personnel involved in establishing and assessing work orders and work permits to get an even better evaluated concept. Yet, the iterations we managed to have through the workshops has highlighted the potential and needs for studying risk visualization further
