Control Every Change Before It Becomes a Risk
EHSWatch Management of Change replaces paper forms and email approvals with a structured digital workflow that identifies, assesses, approves and documents every proposed change before implementation — so nothing reaches the production floor, the processing plant or the live network until it's been properly reviewed, risk-assessed and signed off.
No change goes unreviewed. No approval goes undocumented.
Why Management of Change?
A change approved without the required sign-offs. A risk assessment completed after implementation rather than before. A modification that reached the production floor before the review was finished. These aren't edge cases — they're the gaps where serious process safety incidents begin, and manual, paper-based approvals leave them wide open.
EHSWatch Management of Change removes those failure points by design. Approval steps are enforced — a change can't advance until each stage is complete and the right signatory confirms it. Risk assessment is embedded in the request itself, and a built-in Pre-Startup Safety Review means no change is signed off without confirming safe implementation.
Key Features of Management of Change
Everything your team needs to review, approve and document change — before it reaches the floor.
Digital MoC Initiation
Initiate change requests from any device or browser — no paper forms or email attachments. Configurable templates capture all required information at initiation, so reviews begin with complete, accurate data.
Configurable Change Types
Define every change category your operations need — temporary, permanent, emergency, like-for-like, organisational, procedural and process. Each type follows its own workflow, so minor replacements and major modifications are each reviewed at the rigour the risk warrants.
Integrated Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is built into the request itself — every change prompts structured hazard identification, risk scoring and control documentation before approval begins. A change cannot progress until its risk assessment is complete.
Multi-Level Approval Routing
Configure workflows with multiple reviewer roles, parallel approval paths and defined escalation rules. Every change is signed off by the right people at the right stage — and can't advance with a required signatory missing.
Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR)
A built-in PSSR anchors closure — the final confirmation that the change is safely implemented as approved, all tasks are complete, and the affected process, asset or team is ready to return to operation. No PSSR, no closure.
Linked Document Management
Attach design drawings, procedure updates, safety data sheets, engineering assessments and method statements directly to the change record — so all supporting documentation lives with the change.
What Sets EHSWatch Management of Change Apart
Enforced workflows that make non-compliance structurally impossible: a change cannot advance with a required step skipped or a signatory missing.
Risk assessment embedded in the request itself, not an optional attachment added after approval; ensuring hazard identification and control documentation happen before commitment to a change, not after implementation.
PSSR built into change closure, confirming safe implementation is a mandatory workflow step, not an optional post-change checklist that can be skipped under operational pressure.
Full end-to-end integration with Permit to Work, Incident Management, Risk Register and Action Management, changes exist within the wider safety management system, not in isolation.
Built to support ISO 45001, OSHA PSM, Seveso III, COMAH, API RP 750, IEC 61511 and industry-specific change control requirements across oil and gas, chemicals, pharma and energy.
Permanently searchable change history turns audit preparation from a multi-day document scramble into a few clicks, with every decision and sign-off instantly retrievable.
