Management of change (MOC) is a defined process that organizations establish and follow to ensure health, safety, and reduction of risk during periods of change. MOC systems and policies are essential for companies that undergo significant updates to their facilities, personnel, equipment, or operations. 

Why is MOC important?

A thoughtful approach to MOC ensures that large-scale organizational change doesn’t negatively affect your operation. It helps companies easily identify and minimize hazards associated with changes they make.

• Changes to the products they manufacture
• Changes to equipment
• Changes in company technology
• Changes to standard operating procedures
• Any changes that can potentially affect the environment and employee health
