Introduction -- Relationship to risk-based process safety -- Designing an MOC system -- Developing an MOC system -- Implementing and operating an MOC system -- Monitoring and improving an MOC system -- The future of change management.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Guidelines for the Management of Change for Process Safety provides guidance on the implementation of effective and efficient Management of Change (MOC) procedures, which can be applied to improve process safety. In addition to introducing MOC systems, the book describes how to design an initial system from scratch, including the scope of the system and the applications over a plant life cycle and the boundaries and overlaps with other process safety management systems.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-166) and index.
