Management of Change

CCPS RBPS Element 3.6 MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE

Managing changes to processes over the life of a facility is one of nine elements in the Managing Risk Pillar (Foundational Block).

The MOC element helps ensure that changes to a process do not inadvertently introduce new hazards or unknowingly increase risk of existing hazards. The MOC element includes a review and authorization process for evaluating proposed adjustments to facility design, operations, organization, or activities prior to implementation to make certain that no unforeseen new hazards are introduced and that the risk of existing hazards to employees, the public, and/or the environment is not unknowingly increased. It also includes steps to help ensure that potentially affected personnel are notified of the change and that pertinent documents, such as procedures, process safety knowledge, and other key information, are kept up–to-date.

EI PSM Element 12 MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The introduction of any form of change into an organisation, if not appropriately managed, can significantly increase the levels of HS&E and process safety risk.

Management must ensure that risks arising from any form of change are systematically identified, assessed and managed.
