Change is Good
Embrace the Power of Change. Transform EHS Management into a Resilient Future.
Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Management of Change (MOC) is a structured process used by organizations to ensure that changes—whether operational, procedural, or organizational—do not create unintended risks to people, the environment, or compliance obligations. It helps assess, document, and control risks before implementing any modifications.
Management of Change (MoC) is often applied as an improvement system when introducing new equipment, altering workflows, shifting personnel responsibilities, or updating regulations. The goal is to systematically review the impact of changes and put safeguards in place to prevent accidents, regulatory violations, or environmental dangers.
Pre-Startup Acceptance, often referred to as Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR), is a critical step in the Management of Change (MOC) process. It ensures that all necessary safety, operational, and regulatory requirements are met before a new or modified process is started. PSSR acts as a final checkpoint to prevent accidents, environmental hazards, and operational inefficiencies.
EHS Management of Change (MOC) must be a comprehensive, cross-functional process. It's not just for the EHS team; Human Resources, Engineering, Maintenance, and Quality Assurance must actively participate. This ensures multiple stakeholders evaluate every aspect of employee safety. Integrating diverse departmental expertise effectively addresses operational risks, regulatory compliance, workforce impacts, and process efficiency, leading to a well-rounded approach to workplace safety and continuous improvement.
EVALUATE & CONTROL
An effective Management of Change program is critical to ensuring the safety of employees for hazardous processes.
The MoCA application standardizes the change review process with pre-built checklists and workflows to ensure all changes are thoroughly evaluated by all key stakeholders.
A Final Verification workflow establishes a final approval step by leadership increasing accountability and oversight.
