Many changes occur in the everyday operation of a facility. However, not all of these changes require the scrutiny of an MOC procedure. Only initiated change (conscious decision to change) can be analyzed and evaluated for its potential hazardous consequences and, therefore, managed. Reactive, spontaneous or covert (hidden) change cannot be managed because it cannot be anticipated. These kinds of changes must be managed within other elements of the HSE Management System, for instance, Hazard Identification and Mechanical Integrity. All of these changes have the potential to create new workplace hazards, some of which are not immediately recognizable

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Describe definitions used during the Management of Change and Pre-Startup Safety Review process.
  • Describe the importance of implementing an effective MOC/PSSR system
  • Identify what is and what isn’t considered “change.”
  • Review and assess the proposed change.
  • Describe the initiation and implementation process for a proposed change.
  • Describe an effective MOC/PSSR system
  • Evaluate MOC/PSSR systems for feasibility in various change scenarios.
