Management of Change (MOC)
The Management of Change (MOC) module provides a systematic approach to identifying, reviewing, and controlling changes to processes, equipment, personnel, or operations that could impact safety, health, or the environment.
It aligns fully with OSHA Process Safety Management (29 CFR 1910.119(l)) and CCPS best practices to ensure that no change is implemented without adequate assessment and approval.
Key Objectives
Maintain operational integrity by managing change in a controlled manner.
Ensure employee safety and regulatory compliance through standardized workflows.
Promote transparency and accountability with clear documentation and approvals.
Prevent incident recurrence by enforcing pre-startup safety reviews (PSSRs).
1. Change Identification
Capture and classify proposed changes to:
-
Process equipment or technology
-
Raw materials or operating conditions
-
Organizational structure or staffing
-
Safety procedures or documentation
2. Risk Assessment
Perform structured hazard evaluations using:
-
What-If / HAZOP methods
-
Environmental impact screening
-
Operational readiness checks
3. Review & Approval Workflow
Automated routing for multidisciplinary review:
-
Engineering
-
Operations
-
Safety & Health
-
Environmental
-
Maintenance

4. Implementation Tracking
Track action items, responsible persons, and due dates.
Receive alerts for pending tasks or overdue approvals.
5. Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR)
Confirm completion of all required actions before restarting modified systems.
Generate PSSR checklists automatically based on change type.
6. Documentation & Version Control
-
Attach related P&IDs, drawings, SOPs, and permits
-
Maintain version history for all documents
-
Provide full traceability for audits
7. Compliance & Reporting
-
Generate regulatory reports and audit trails
-
Demonstrate compliance with OSHA, EPA, and corporate standards
-
Integrate with Incident and Audit modules for full lifecycle visibility
