Management of Change (MOC)
Management of Change (MOC) is a structured process for evaluating and controlling risks when making modifications to equipment, processes, personnel, or facilities, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
Key Elements of MOC:

- Approval Process: Ensuring changes are reviewed and authorized before implementation.
- Communication & Training: Informing employees about modifications and providing necessary training.
- Industries that Rely on MOC:
- Manufacturing – Process adjustments, new equipment installations.
- Oil & gas – Pipeline modifications, facility expansions.
- Chemical processing – Changes in formulations or operating conditions.
