Reduce risk and improve compliance with our fully editable Management of Change (MOC) Program Template in Word format. You have undoubtedly heard the saying that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. In the process industry, scenarios like this can result in catastrophes—injuries, loss of opportunity, loss of life, or perhaps even the loss of the entity. Accident investigators have said for years that the root cause of the accident has been improper implementation of change management. Face it! You can’t afford to have poor or ineffective change management.
A lack of competent change management in the process industry is a recipe for disaster. An adequately administered Management of Change (MOC) program is an essential administrative system within any facility where hazardous materials are stored or processed. Owner/operators equipped with our MOC system can meet and often exceed each facet of the MOC requirements as stated in the OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.119).
Even if you don’t have to comply with the OSHA PSM standard, MOC can reduce risk in ANY industry. If the impression exists that compliance is expensive, an accident will be far more costly. As an example, the wrong specification of a valve installed into a hazardous process can result in an accident and perhaps result in the unplanned release of a dangerous commodity. An unplanned release can result in injury to staff, a loss of opportunity as a result of a damaged process, and the potential to injure members of the public and the environment.
If your current MOC program needs to be more robust, less complicated to administer, or easier to manage, contact us.
Our Management of Change software guides you through the entire change process. We make it simple to have all the bases covered for each type of change encountered in the process industry. Our well-thought-out procedure and workflow, along with our form layout and form design, simplify the process considerably. We take the guesswork out of when and where plant personnel should consider the use of change management. Frankly, our easy-to-follow forms have done most of the heavy lifting for you.
