Episode 48 - Management of Organizational Change (MOOC)

In our first episode to kick off 2022, Rob and Molly talk Management of Organizational Change (MOOC). Management of Organizational Change is a systematic way to ensure that adherence to process safety policies doesn't suffer when any sort of organizational change takes place that could potentially affect process safety, including but not limited to pandemic effects on staffing and remote work, other personnel changes due to resignations, new hires, or promotions, work stoppage due to union strikes, and more. In this episode you'll learn what MOOCs are, when they should be used, differences and similarities between MOOCs and other Management of Change (MOC) used for process safety compliance, and how organizational changes can act as enabling events for PSM incidents.  To learn more, check out the CCPS book mentioned in this episode, Guidelines for Managing Process Safety Risks During Organizational Change.
