Frequently Changing Regulations Add to Compliance Challenges

To operate within established standards and regulatory parameters, drilling and well service companies conduct regular inspections of machinery and equipment and strive to ensure workers are competent to perform their assigned tasks. These activities are carried out within one of the most heavily regulated industries in North America.

To add further complexity, regulations change frequently, making it difficult to track, communicate and make the necessary adjustments within a large organization. Some companies are unaware of the scope and impact of applicable regulatory requirements as they change, and are constantly challenged to efficiently meet these requirements. Management must deal with an ever-increasing number of standards – many of which have complex and often contradictory requirements.

Without effective systems or processes to implement such standards, monitor the company’s performance in relation to the standards, and provide continuous improvement to ensure that standards are met; companies are more likely to incur legal liability and sustain losses that affect their bottom line.

Beyond Compliance’s Integrated Compliance Management System enables companies to electronically collect, manage, analyze and disseminate information (operational, health and safety, worker and compliance) at all levels of the organization. The ICMS™ architecture provides system clients with their own user-specific view of information based on their requirements and automates the workflow, communication and reporting of information – allowing personnel to focus on the value-added work for which they are trained and responsible.

Beyond Compliance clients using ICMS benefit because:

Paper checklists and manual reporting are eliminated.
Worker efficiency improves, which allows for more focus on value-added tasks – ultimately resulting in improved business performance.
Access to real-time, meaningful information is improved. This means that personnel have the ability to deal with issues in a systematic, well organized, and efficient manner through a well-defined workflow process, rather than in an ad-hoc manner as issues arise. The result? Efficient resolution of problems and a decrease in the number of issues over time.
Compliance with regulations and corporate policies facilitates safer work environments, reduced operational risks, and reduced corporate liabilities.
Up-front capital costs are relatively low.

Unlike many enterprise systems that can take a year or more to implement, our team of oil and gas implementation experts can deploy the Integrated Compliance Management System quickly across your organization, often in a matter of weeks.

Beyond Compliance Inc. can help your drilling company do the right thing… and do it simply.

"ICMS™ from Beyond Compliance is an excellent tracking and follow up tool and I continue to receive very good feedback from the field. Field employees are much more aware of the regulations in context to their work and therefore, appropriate work practices are reinforced and applied consistently."
