What is MOC Training?
MOC (Management of Change) training focuses on the processes, procedures, and best practices used to manage changes in industrial systems—whether they are related to equipment, processes, personnel, technology, or regulations. MOC ensures that changes are systematically assessed, implemented, and communicated to minimize risks and ensure safety, quality, and compliance throughout the lifecycle of a project or operation.
MOC is essential for maintaining process safety, particularly in high-risk industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, and manufacturing, where even small changes can have significant safety, environmental, or operational impacts.
Objectives of a MOC Training Course
A MOC training course provides participants with the knowledge and tools to:
1. Understand MOC Concepts & Framework – Learn the principles of MOC and how it integrates into process safety management (PSM) systems.
2. Assess Risk Impact of Changes – Evaluate the potential impact of proposed changes on safety, environment, operations, and compliance.
3. Implement Change Control Processes – Learn how to apply change request systems, including risk assessments, documentation, and review processes.
4. Establish Effective Communication & Coordination – Ensure that all affected stakeholders (e.g., operators, maintenance teams, contractors) are informed and involved in the change process.
5. Ensure Compliance with Regulations & Standards – Align MOC procedures with industry standards such as OSHA PSM, API RP 750, ISO 45001, and IEC 61511.
6. Apply MOC in Real-World Scenarios – Use case studies and practical exercises to practice implementing MOC processes in dynamic environments.
Who Should Attend a MOC Training?
This training is valuable for professionals involved in change management, process safety, and risk assessment, including:
• HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) Engineers & Managers – Ensuring that changes do not compromise safety and compliance.
• Process Safety Engineers – Implementing MOC procedures to manage process changes safely.
• Operations & Maintenance Managers – Overseeing the safe implementation of equipment and procedural changes.
• Project Engineers & Managers – Ensuring that new projects, modifications, or upgrades adhere to MOC standards.
• Regulatory Compliance Officers – Ensuring that all changes
