Process safety – Management of change (MoC)

What is Management of Change (MoC)?
A Management of Change (MOC) policy is a type of standard operating procedure that allows management teams to address company-wide changes in a structured way.
MOC provides a safe and systematic approach to managing changes in your organisation. These changes can include updating equipment, training a new workforce, opening new facilities, or updating maintenance procedures.
Having a MOC policy in place can help ensure a smooth and safe transition from an existing process to a new efficient way of doing things.

Benefits of MoC
Change can be challenging for any business. 70% of complex, large-scale organisational change programs don’t reach their stated goals.
In addition, when you have multiple people, facilities, machines, and environmental factors, it can be challenging to ensure all employees are equally informed about necessary changes.
A well-structured Management of Change system benefits the entire organization as well as individuals. MOC provides visibility across different departments and work functions, encouraging cross-functional teams to work together on shared goals.
Ultimately, this leads to better and safer implementation of new equipment, policies, or practices.
In this Working group, we will discuss topics including:

How effective is your MoC process?
What is your policy on Management of Change?
How do you manage ‘ever-growing’ action lists?
How do you classify the level of change?
How effective is your governance committee?
What systems are you using?
How do you communicate the changes?
What is the coverage of your MoC process (e.g. electrical, process, IT, Org Structure, Administrative)?
How do you manage MoC across these areas (e.g. centralised, federated per discipline)?

About the host:

  SEQ Water, Mt Crosby West Bank
  Get Directions

The Mt Crosby West Bank Water Treatment Plant (WTP) turns raw water into safe, drinkable water for the Brisbane and Ipswich area.
Two water treatment plants are located at Mt Crosby – East Bank and West Bank. Combined, the plants can produce up to 1000 megalitres of drinking water per day.
All water treated must adhere to the stringent Australian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines. The basic water treatment processes include coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and lastly, disinfection of water.
For most of us in the Greater Brisbane and Ipswich areas, every time we drink a glass of water from the tap, it is likely that the water came from this facility.
