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.
