🔄 Management of Change (MOC) workflow

Run a structured 5-stage Management of Change workflow in one page: raise a change request, assess hazards and impacts, route it through a risk-based authorization matrix, track the implementation checklist and close it out with a post-change review. Export a complete MOC form to Word and a full MOC register to Excel/CSV for audit. Aligned to ISO 45001:2018 §8.1.3, OSHA PSM and Seveso III.

Approval levels, risk thresholds and the controls listed are indicative starting points — adapt the approval matrix, risk criteria and pre-startup review requirements to your site, sector and legal obligations, and have competent persons review each change.
