What is Management Of Change? Management of Change (MoC) is designed to manage planned and unplanned change effectively within an organisation with the aim of minimising the risk of failure when safety-critical change occurs. The MoC principle can be applied across all aspects of business management such as waste management and environmental issues, personnel and HR management, information technology, project management, finance, operations as well as safety management. Managing change effectively reduces workplace risk and the likelihood and severity of accidents or incidents and, therefore, can have a huge impact on profitability. In some jurisdictions, where failings in the MoC processes have been identified as a contributory factor in serious accidents, certain high risk industries are legally required to address work procedures relating to MoC in their safety management systems. [1] For safety management purposes, some or all of the following functions (although the list is not ex

What is a bridging document? A bridging (or interface) document can be defined as:  "a documented plan that defines how diverse organisations agree on which safety management elements will be used when co-operating on a project, contract or operation". Bridging documents can be a useful tool to document how organisations contracted to work together on a project or contract manage their day-to-day work activities where both have developed safety management systems (SMS). There may be a requirement within local legislation (for example, in the construction industry) to create defined interface documents for projects or contracts, but here we consider a generic document that can be tailored to individual requirements. The objectives of a bridging document are to ensure that: • Operations or projects are planned and conducted in line with both organisations' SMSs. • The organisations' SMSs do not conflict with each other. • Where aspects of both organisations' SMSs ar

HEMP: Hazard & Effect Management Process : WHAT IS HEMP? HEMP is an acronym for Hazard and Effect Management Process. It is the heart of the Health and safety Management System because it helps in controlling all risk in the workplace and also in managing the impacts failures in control." HEMP is a risk management process which ensures that Hazards/Risks to workforce, equipments, properties and environments are properly controlled. In cases of failure in controls, it helps manage the impacts of incidents as well. Often, HEMP is misuse as  Risk assessment . Though the two has something in common, they are different. When HEMP is a risk management process,  Risk Assessment  is a tool that can be used to actualize HEMP. Risk assessment  is in the same category as other risk management tools like Hazid, Hazop, Job safety plan (JSP), Hazard analysis (HAZAN), etc. Hazard and Effect Management Process (HEMP) has 4 elements: Hazard identification Risk assessment Risk control Recovery
