1 Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous & Explosive Chemicals Management of Change
2 What if Our PHA s Reveal the Need to Change Something In our System to Minimize the Potential for Release We Must Use Management of Change (MOC)
3 Management of Change Management of Change (I) The employer shall establish and implement written procedures to manage changes (except for "replacements in kind") to process chemicals, technology, equipment, and procedures; and, changes to facilities that affect a covered process.
4 Management of Change - Why? Management of Change - Why? Many of the catastrophic accidents over the past few decades can be traced, in large part, to a management of change system that was not in place or was not functional (e.g., Flixborough, Bhopal).
5 Case Study: Flixborough Vapor cloud explosion - fueled by release of 30 tons of cyclohexane Largest single loss by fire or explosion in the United Kingdom killed 28 people injured 89 others $63 million in property damage
6 MOC Cause: Temporary Modification Bellows
7 Why did the Bypass Piping Fail No safety review and inadequate supervision Job was beyond professional capabilities of the workers Only drawing was a full-size sketch in chalk on the workshop floor. No one understood the forces that would be imposed on the pressurized piping
8 What Was Learned? A proper MOC procedure could have prevented this accident. One of Main recommendations from inquiry Any modification should be designed, constructed, tested, and maintained to the same standards as the original plant.
9 Focus of MOC To prevent catastrophic accidents and to properly evaluate the concerns of safety and health and to accomplish this review in a timely manner.
10 Failures in MOC Failures in MOC Vapor cloud explosion and major fire within a refinery 7 deaths 13 injuries $35 million in losses (half in property damage, half in business interruption) Cause: Hidden Change to a valve
11 Failures in MOC Failures in MOC Storage tank containing flashing, flammable fluid. Tank was connected to process unit via 10 line Corrosion attacked valve bonnet bolts and weakened them. Bonnet was blown off and an uncontrolled, catastrophic release occurred.
12 Performing Management of Change The Keys to Success The Keys to Success
13 Management of Change (MOC) Our Program Must Explain the purpose of MOC Set the provisions to be considered for temporary change Define and give example of change in equipment that requires MOC Define and give examples of changes in procedures when need Define and give examples of change in process technology
14 Management of Change (MOC) Our Program Must Define and give example of a major change Define and give example of a minor change Define and give examples of "replacement in kind Describe and list the procedures required for initiating and completing a MOC
15 Management of Change Management of Change Important March 31, 2009 Letter From OSHA: Some organizational changes such as changes resulting from mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, staffing changes or budget revisions, may affect PSM at the plant level and would therefore trigger a PSM MOC procedure
16 A replacement that satisfies the design specifications. Examples raising reactor temp. within safe operating envelope replacing equipment or piping meeting the same specifications as the original MOC Replacement in Kind
17 MOC-What is a Change? Change is an alteration or adjustment to any component, variable or property within an existing system (except those within clearly defined boundaries or responsibilities). Examples changes that alter production rates changes involving safety relief or vent systems deteriorating materials
18 Management of Change Are These Change or Replacement in Kind? Changing metallurgy of a piping system. Recalibrating instruments Operating with a heat exchanger out of service Replacement of gate valves with ball valves (within the plant valve specifications)
19 Coded Metal What Type of Stainless? What type of Nozzle?
20 MOC Application MOC Application Management of Change should be Completed on BOTH: Temporary Permanent Changes
21 MOC Emergency Procedures MOC Emergency Procedures Emergencies May Required Changes without Formal MOC Contingency Plans Should be in Place When Normal Operations Resume, Complete MOC Should be Implemented
22 MOC Program Elements MOC Program Elements Identification System Change Control Mechanism Training - Employees & Contractors Information Management System to Manage & Track All MOC Projects Auditing of the MOC Program Performance
23 Identification System Identification System Screening process for identifying changes. Includes risk ranking process based on effect item could have on safety of process Requires clear, written, definition of system boundaries and what constitutes change
24 Change Control Mechanism Change Control Mechanism Explains how to manage the change. Must clearly identify: the work flow procedures (MOC Forms & Process) Responsibility and Authority Required to Implement Change Approval Levels Required to Start MOC Process
25 MOC Training MOC Training Anyone who could affect a change must be properly trained in the Management of Change system Commitment from all levels of management and staff Contractors if Affected, Must be Included
26 MOC - Information Management System Method to Track MOC Documentation and Actions Software/documentation that tracks all changes and their progress if Preferred Allows access to most current information eg. If two changes are inter-related they will be aware of one another
27 MOC - Auditing MOC - Auditing Ensures That System is Working as Designed MOC system should be constantly evolving and improving in efficiency and effectiveness Verifies changes are assessed accurately & tracked
28 MOC - Flowchart MOC - Flowchart IDENTIFY CHANGE Flowchart of a DETERMINE SIGNIFICANCE OF CHANGE LOW SIMPLE RISK ASSESSMENT MOC MEDIUM/ HIGH UNCERTAIN Program REVIEW WITH TEAM LEADER APPROPRIATE RISK ASSESSMENT LOW RISK APPROVAL TRAINING AND COMMUNICATIO N IMPLEMENT CHANGE FOLLOW-UP
29 MOC Documentation Form MOC Documentation Form A MOC form is used by most companies to guide employees through the procedure The MOC form should include: Description, purpose, and tech. basis for the change Assigned level of risk Safety, Environmental, and Health impacts Necessary time period for the change Authorization for the proposed change Interfaces with the PSSR program
30 MOC-Determine Hazard Level MOC-Determine Hazard Level Examples of yes/no questions to determine the hazard level: Does the change introduce a significant source of energy (chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical)? Does the change result in any increase of toxic, flammable, or reactive material? Does the change significantly increase the potential for personnel exposure to a hazardous material?
31 MOC-Potential Severity MOC-Potential Severity Examples of yes/no questions used to determine potential severity level: Could the change take the process outside the safe operating envelope? Does the change significantly alter the heat and material balance? Does the change introduce new molecules?
32 Remember - Risk Analysis
33 Can PHA Recommendations Affect MOC s? Any Changes in Defense Designs, or System Engineering will Require Management of Change P&ID Equipment Lists Inspection/Testing/ Maintenance Procedures PHA s
34 Can MOC s Affect Everything in Our Program? Might Affect: Process Information Process Toxicity Technology of the Process Equipment in the Process Mechanical Integrity Inspection & Testing Quality Assurance Might Affect: PHA s Operating Procedures Safe Work Practices Training for Both Employees & Contractors Compliance Audits Basically.Everything!
35 Process & Goals of Management of Change Both Pre & Post
36 Management of Change (MOC) Management of Change (MOC) MOC procedure should ensure that equipment and procedures are returned to their original conditions at the end of a temporary change MOC forms/clearance sheets are acceptable control methods of tracking changes More complex changes require a more "formal hazard evaluation" than simple changes (PHA not specifically mentioned).
37 Management of Change (MOC) - Pre-Modification Issues Check codes, standards, internal engineering specifications Complete design review Perform reactivity testing for new substances Add materials to TSCA/SARA inventories Complete safety and health impact review Comply with safety and loss prevention requirements Remember all the Codes We Have Already Discussed
38 Management of Change (MOC) - Pre-Modification Issues Complete maintenance review/revise spare parts list Evaluate change against vent, relief, and flare capability Complete industrial hygiene review Review change against existing environmental permits Obtain required approvals from
39 Management of Change (MOC) Post-Modification Issues Completed Process Safety Systems Review (PSSR) Also References Pre-Start Up Safety Review Completed training on change for affected employees SOPs marked-up P&IDs, PFDs, plot plans and other affected Process Safety Information (PSI) marked-up Training program modifications identified Preventive maintenance program modifications identified
40 Management of Change Summary We must establish and implement written procedures to manage changes except "replacements in kind" for a covered process. If a Change in Design or Components is Required, Management of Change Must be Employed, Tracked, and Analyzed. All PHA s, P&ID s & Required Procedures Must be Revised Work-site employees and contract employers must be informed and trained on the changes prior to start-up.
