For 24 years, Fulcrium benchmarking has been assisting frontline and second line assurance organisations to transform their Strategy, Vision, Purpose and Performance so they can future-proof the S&ORA function.
Since the 1960s the global oil and chemical sectors have led the way in process safety management. Our expertise in Oil & Gas Safety & Operational Risk Assurance Benchmarking over more than two decades has been developed primarily in this sector and is, we believe, best-in-class.
Other complex industries have similar hazard profiles to oil, gas and chemical, including pharmaceutical, explosives, mining, nuclear, engineering and transport.
Despite widespread adoption of safety management systems, major incidents continue to occur, albeit at very low frequency.
When they do, their impact is substantial: fatalities and serious injuries, and damage to the environment, company reputations, assets and operating capabilities.
Fulcrium was appointed by the in-house specialist assurance function accountable for second line Safety & Operational Risk Assurance at a Supermajor.
The brief was to undertake a wide-ranging benchmarking engagement comparing the frontline and second line strategy, systems, processes, organisation, risk, policies, standards, governance and assurance activities of the function with those of peers at IOCs, NOCs and service companies.
Part of the brief was to provide tangible evidence of what constituted a world class Safety & Operational Risk Assurance function and how such insights could translate into transformational value for the function in its support of Drilling & Completions, Reservoir & Wells, Major Projects and Operations & HSSE. Fulcrium was also required to assist the client with a renewed vision and roadmap to transform the function.
Following an extensive evaluation of the benchmarking market for Safety & Operational Risk Assurance providers, we appointed Fulcrium to conduct benchmarking and assist us with our thinking to future-proof our organisation.
No benchmarking firm that we encountered can match it for extent of reliable data, methodology or, more importantly, for Safety & Operational Risk Assurance domain specificity in the upstream and downstream oil and gas industry.
Fulcrium brought extensive. high quality data that informed genuinely new and impactful insights which have helped us shape our Safety & Operational Risk Assurance function.
For 24 years, Fulcrium benchmarking has been assisting frontline and second line assurance organisations to transform their strategy, vision, purpose and performance so they can achieve best-in-class excellence.
Are you 100% sure that your major hazard process risks are effectively controlled by your frontline, second line and third line, or are you concerned that you rely on failure data and are not sufficiently proactive?
Our proprietary benchmarking pinpoints Safety & Operational Risks Assurance opportunities during all stages, and proposes any required mitigation options. In several cases, this has resulted in dramatic improvements in optimising operating conditions in addition to improvements in risk control and quality systems.
Major incidents rarely result from a single cause but rather by multiple failures that coincide and collectively result in an exceptional event with severe consequences.
