ABS Consulting and Salus Technical Join Forces to Streamline Risk Management with Dynamic Software Package

(Warrington) – ABSG Consulting Inc. (ABS Consulting), a leading global operational risk management company, is partnering with Salus Technical, a process safety software provider, to provide risk assessment software solutions to streamline risk management and compliance. This new partnership combines Salus Technical’s Bowtie Master software with ABS Consulting’s robust history providing risk management solutions to industrial sectors worldwide.

A new, intuitive software package, Bowtie Master helps organizations to visualize, understand and communicate risk via the building and sharing of bowtie diagrams. The cloud-based application offers unprecedented capabilities to design, collaborate on and share bowtie diagrams across disciplines and organizations.

“Bowtie Master integrates with risk management to enable the seamless communication of safety, reliability and business continuity across the enterprise—a holistic approach supported by customization and data-driven decision making,” says Brian Weaver, Vice President Risk and Reliability, ABS Consulting.

“We look forward to offering this dynamic software package to our valued clients in addition to utilizing it for our consultancy services.”

Founder and MD of Salus Technical, David Jamieson, developed Bowtie Master following an extensive career working in-house for major operators and service providers. David said: “ABS Consulting have established an enviable reputation for helping their clients to maximize safety, secure their assets, improve performance and reduce risk. For one of the market leaders not just in safety, but in bowtie diagrams in particular, to be giving Bowtie Master their seal of approval is a real endorsement of the software’s capabilities. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to introduce Bowtie Master to the key markets ABS Consulting serves such as marine and offshore, industrial, power and energy and oil, gas and chemical.”

“While bowtie diagrams have been around for a while and are an excellent training tool to help understand our risks, our barriers and what can make them fail, Bowtie Master fully exploits their potential to communicate and thus reduce risk. A user-friendly software solution, it helps employees across the organization to visually depict potential accident scenarios and communicate these seamlessly via a cloud-based application.”

The success of the partnership to date has enabled Salus Technical to expand its global footprint, and branch out into different sectors, in addition to its core oil and gas customer base.

Many ABS Consulting clients have already made the transition to Bowtie Master to assist in the development of their comprehensive risk management plans. Additional Process Safety Management training utilizing the Bowtie Methodology is now available online.
