What you will be able to do.

MOC originators, reviewers and approvers; operations, maintenance and project engineers; PSSR team members and PSM coordinators

Most major accidents involve a change that somebody did not think was a change. The course covers what counts as change (equipment, chemicals, procedures, organisation, temporary and emergency changes), how to scope the review so it is proportionate, and how the PSSR confirms that the change was built as designed, procedures and training were updated, and PHA actions were closed. Participants judge twelve real cases and run a tabletop PSSR on a modification package.

  • Distinguish replacement-in-kind from change, including organisational and procedural change
  • Scope a technical review proportionate to the hazard: checklist, What-If or full HAZOP
  • Manage temporary changes with expiry dates and restoration checks
  • Update PSI, procedures, training and PHA records as part of closure
  • Run a PSSR: field walkdown, punch-list categories and authorisation to start up
  • Audit an MOC system with metrics such as overdue temporary changes and closure quality
