Why do we need MOC
- To prevent catastrophic accidents and to properly evaluate the concerns of safety and health and to accomplish this review in a timely manner.
- The “time” component of this statement is very important. If MOC cannot be completed in a timely manner than the system would be very ineffective. It is important that the program help the plant to continuously improve in a safe manner – not to impede this improvement from occurring.
Unfortunately, you can’t just get rid of the cause because “Change” is also critical to a company’s survival. Companies have to be able to change in order to continuously improve their process and to stay competitive in their industry.
By successfully managing change you can reduce the number of incidents while still allowing, even encouraging, change to occur.
So why is MOC considered a critical operation of any facility?
It has been determined that 80% of all large scale accidents in the process industries trace their origins back to “Change”.
