Process Safety Management: Management of Change Request Template

Management of change (MOC) is designed to ensure worker and workplace safety, create resilient business processes and drive continuous improvement by not allowing change to disrupt business operations. It provides you with the information you need to plan for changes to key practices and processes and accelerates the time required to address business-critical issues.

For example, when the number of employees operating a process is to be reduced due to an organizational change, operators may not be able to continue implementation of existing operating procedures. An MOC procedure must be implemented to manage the change, possibly by modifying existing operating procedures to reflect the new, reduced staffing level, and to ensure that operations remain safe under normal production and emergency upset conditions.

The purpose of this Management of Change Form is to provide a mechanism to track and manage changes and deviations to Process Safety Management (PSM)-covered processes and documents.
