Although some changes are more critical than others, each modification should be analyzed for inherent hazards that may result from the change. Although change usually is proposed for a good reason, changes made to improve one aspect of an operation actually may increase the potential for hazards in other areas of the same operation. To assess the impact of change and to monitor its implementation, it is essential to have a policy and procedure for Management of Change (MOC).

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.

• Operation Engineers& Forman’s
• Maintenance Engineers
• Technical Department Engineers
• Safety Management Team
• Loss Prevention Engineers

There will be interactive discussion based around case studies and presentations and Videos to highlight course details.
