Ebook: Management of Change (MOC) The proper management of change lies at the heart of any successful risk management program. Assuming that everyone associated with the design and operation of any industrial facility wants to do a good job - yet, in spite of their best intentions, accidents continue to happen: people get hurt, production is lost and the environment is polluted. All of these undesired events are caused by uncontrolled change. Someone, somewhere moved operating conditions outside their safe range without taking proper precautions.
