ABS Group launched Cultural Cause Analysis (CCA), a next-gen root cause analysis methodology and risk management tool which maps process safety incidents aiming to eliminate cultural hazards.
The CCA took about 10 years to be developed, as ABS Group had to evaluate the data insights that identify the cultural factors that have played a crucial role to major incidents and figure the benchmark approach to more than a dozen culture assessment models.
Moreover, this methodology is based on 45 years of incident investigation and root cause analysis and process safety management (PSM) expertise.

Ryan Moody, ABS Group President and CEO highlighted that many are the companies that have a hard time achieving a ‘drive to zero’ safety objectives.
Consequently, ABS Group’s experts spent more than a decade researching data-driven ways to mitigate this gap acknowledging that RCA alone is not enough.
He continued that the shipping industry should also adapt work processes to report the cultural factors that can negatively affect organizational performance.
In addition, the CCA tool enables organisations to create lasting changes, in favour of sustainable, outstanding performance in safety leadership.
Steve Arendt, ABS Group Vice President of Oil, Gas and Chemical Services comments
CCA is an important breakthrough.
This methodology could be used as part of the proactive way to evaluate culture, or could be used to better understand the culture disease pathology that may be affecting a company and how best to return to good process safety health.
