In industrial facilities, technical or organizational modifications are a major source of risk when they are not properly managed. Poor control of management of change (MOC) can lead to safety deviations, incidents, and loss of compliance with regulatory requirements.
This training provides HSE managers and operational teams with the tools needed to implement an effective PSM change management procedure, including pre-modification safety reviews, risk assessment, modification traceability, and equipment modification authorization.
Training objectives
Identify the types of changes (engineering, technology, processes) impacting the process safety management (PSM) system
Analyze the risks associated with each change and determine validation requirements according to the I&T criteria
Define the change management procedure, including the review, approval, implementation, and monitoring stages
Establish post-change monitoring criteria to verify the effectiveness of risk control measures
