Overview

Learn the Latest MOC Best Practices from the IChemE Safety Centre

Join us for a complimentary interactive workshop on Management of Change (MOC) led by Prof. Fiona Macleod using the new guidance framework developed by an IChemE Safety Centre cross-industry international working group. Organisations continue to face incidents linked to poorly managed changes—whether technical, process, or organisational. This workshop is designed to share practical, real‑world tools to strengthen your MOC systems and prevent avoidable failures.

Why Attend? 

• Discover the latest global best practice from the new IChemE Safety Centre MOC guidance. 
• Learn how to eliminate common failure points in MOC workflows—before they cause incidents. 
• Gain practical tools and strategies you can apply immediately to improve risk decisions. 
• Learn why managing change is so critical in major accident prevention. 
• Understand common challenges and pain points in change management processes. 

Key Takeaways 

• How to identify and manage risks associated with changes in equipment, systems, processes, and organisational structures. 
• Practical tools for self-assessment, auditing, and troubleshooting MOC processes. 
• Best practices for scaling MOC processes for both large and small changes. 

Who Should Attend 

Ideal for operations directors, plant managers, HSE leaders, team leaders, technical authorities, and those working in engineering, maintenance, process safety, purchasing, human resources and finance – in a nutshell, anyone accountable for approving, assessing, or managing change.
