Risk Management Community of Practice (RMCoP) Kick Off

Group Risk Management (GRM) kicked off the Risk
Management Community of Practice (RMCoP) at
DoubleTree by Hilton on 23rd June 2014. Themed
“Towards Institutionalizing Risk Management Culture”,
RMCoP is established to enhance Risk Management
practices and capability through collaboration and
active knowledge sharing between risk practitioners.
The event started with a montage establishing the
context of RMCoP, followed by an opening remark by
En. Aminul Rashid, Head of GRM, who reinforced the
purpose of establishing RMCoP, and recognized the
potential benefits that it will bring.
After that, En. Aminul launched the Risk Management
website, which acts as a tool to bond and build the
Risk Management Community of Practice. Outputs
from RMCoP discussions, knowledge sharing and
creation, lessons learnt and success stories are
targeted to be captured on the Risk Management
website.
The event continued with a sharing session on the
journey of Upstream CoP by a representative from the
Upstream Knowledge Management team. The
maturity of Upstream CoP enlightened the participants
on the power of a strong CoP.
Next, En. Aminul gave out appointment letters to the
leaders and members of RMCoP to formalize his
recognition of the community, and to empower the
members of the community to be active in their
groups. There was a group photo session, and then
the participants were given a short break for
networking.
After the break, the participants were briefed on the
RMCoP terms of reference, their roles and
responsibilities, and the expected outcome of RMCoP
discussions. They were then broken up into three
groups of “communities” representing the current big
items in PETRONAS’ Risk Management, namely
Country Risk, Risk Assurance and Business Continuity
Management. In their groups and facilitated by the
Change Management team of GRM, they decided on
a focus area within their given field, and drafted out
activities to share and capture knowledge in the
community, as well as to make it grow.
When the discussion was done, the event was
concluded with lunch at DoubleTree by Hilton.
All in all, the RMCoP Kick-off was a great success and
the level of motivation exhibited by the participants
gave hope to the growth of a strong CoP in
PETRONAS’ risk fraternities.

In Between the Lines of Risk Jokes

Men vs. women. A statistic done by Women’s
engineering Society, only 5.5% of engineering
professionals are female. Why do less females
work as an engineers and why on earth did I
choose to pursue Chemical Engineering during my
studies? It was a matter of choice. Sky was my
limit. I wanted to prove that women can do (if not
better) in areas dominated by men.
In my first four years tenure ship in PETRONAS, I
was a Process Safety Engineer by profession in
MLNG. I am thankful that I have been given the
opportunity to work in a plant where it is always
known to be a male-dominated environment and
be among the earliest to embark on Process
Safety Management in MLNG.
To share with you, there are eight Process Safety
Management elements in PETRONAS: namely
Management of Change (MOC), Process Hazard
Analysis (PHA), Process Safety Information (PSI),
Design Integrity (DI), Mechanical Integrity (MI),
Operating Procedure (OP), Pre-Activity Safety
Review (PASR) and Proprietary Licensed &
Technology (PLTA). My two cents, risk
management is the essence in all eight of these
elements. It is applied everywhere, any time.
