7 - Management of Change

Management of Change, or MoC, is a practice used to ensure that health, safety and environmental risks are controlled when a company makes changes to their facilities, documentation, personnel, or operations.

There are many examples of inadequately managed changes that have resulted in catastrophic accidents, for example the Flixborough disaster.

In this course, we will take a look at the lessons learned from the Flixborough disaster, distinguish different types of change, understand the RACI principle and go through each step in the MoC process.

Approximate duration: 30 minutes.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

• Define what Management of Change is
• Recognise when Management of Change is to be applied
• Use the RACI principle to define roles within a Management of Change process
• Distinguish between the different types of change
