Management of change (MOC) is a core requirement of OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard. It helps prevent accidents by ensuring that companies review changes for potential risks before implementing them. Even small, well-intentioned changes can have big consequences if they don’t go through the proper approval and review process.

Maintaining MOC compliance is critical not only for avoiding OSHA citations but also for protecting employees, facilities, and the surrounding community. Uncontrolled changes are a leading cause of industrial incidents, often resulting in injuries, environmental releases, or costly downtime. A compliant MOC program ensures that all modifications go through the right checks, from risk assessment to updated procedures, training, and documentation. It’s about making sure nothing slips through the cracks that could jeopardize safety or operations.

This MOC compliance guide walks you step-by-step through OSHA’s MOC requirements, breaking them down into plain language with actionable advice. You’ll find practical tips, real-world examples, and best practices for building a sustainable MOC process. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing program, this guide will help you close compliance gaps, avoid common pitfalls, and implement changes with confidence.
