Management of Change and Pre Startup Safety Review
Catching the change that was not recognised as one
Management of change fails most often because a change was never entered into the system. This workshop covers change recognition, technical review depth, temporary change control and the pre startup safety review that provides the last check before hazardous material is introduced.
This course sits alongside our Process Safety Management Systems consulting work, so what is taught is what we do.
Who should attend
Course content
Every module is taught with worked examples and exercises drawn from real plant, and adapted to your own process where the course runs in house.
Recognising a change
- Replacement in kind and where the boundary genuinely sits
- Organisational change, procedural change and change of process conditions
- Changes that arrive disguised as maintenance
- Building recognition into the work order and procurement routes
Review and approval
- Scaling review depth to the hazard rather than to the cost
- Which technical disciplines must review what
- Hazard review triggers and when a change needs a HAZOP
- Authority levels and the pressure to approve quickly
Temporary change
- Time limits, expiry tracking and the temporary change that became permanent
- Car sealing, jumpers, temporary piping and defeated interlocks
- The register that makes temporary changes visible
Pre startup safety review
- What must be verified before hazardous material is introduced
- Construction against design, procedures updated, training completed
- Punch list discipline and what genuinely blocks startup
- Documenting a review that would satisfy an investigator
What you receive
- An MOC form and review routing template
- A change recognition guide with worked examples
- A temporary change register format
- A pre startup safety review checklist
- Assessment result and attendance record
What changes afterwards
- Changes enter the system because people recognise them as changes
- Review depth matches the hazard instead of the paperwork habit
- Temporary changes expire or get converted deliberately
- Startup happens against a verified checklist rather than schedule pressure
