GUIDANCE FOR IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS FOR OSHA PSM
MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE
This document contains information that may assist a company in establishing, or reviewing and updating, the management of change (MOC) element of their process safety management (PSM) program. The information in this document is based upon the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration's regulation, 29 CFR 1910.119, Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals. However, this information may be of use to anyone developing or updating a PSM program for any purpose.
In 1993 the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commissioned Primatech Inc. to develop a 'training material reference manual" related to 1910.119. The purpose of the manual is to provide OSHA's Office of Training and Education with a resource for training federal and state OSHA field officers on enforcing the PSM regulation.
The training material reference manual features an annotated form of the Program-QualityVerification (PQV) inspection checklist originally presented in Appendix A of OSHA Instruction CPL 2-2.45A. Example programs are provided to illustrate the positive and negative indicators of the checklist questions. OSHA has agreed to allow Primatech to make this information available to interested parties. This should in no way be construed as acceptance by OSHA of the suitability of the information or examples provided herein.
The format of this document follows the PQV inspection checklist presented in Appendix A of OSHA Instruction CPL 2-2.45A, often referred to as the "compliance directive". For each question in the PQV inspection checklist, clarification is provided on the checklist item along with positive program indicators and negative program indicators for each question. The positive and negative program indicators are intended to provide ideas for the user to help them in assessing their existing or planned program.
The example programs provided in this document illustrate approaches taken by companies seeking to address the requirements of 1910.119. These examples have not been reviewed and/or endorsed by OSHA and should not be construed as model programs.
The example programs provided herein were developed for specific processes, and are not generic in nature. Since the OSHA PSM regulation is performance-based, readers are strongly encouraged to develop programs tailored to their own covered processes.

OVERVIEW
This guidance document is arranged in a tabular format. The following is a description of each of the column headings used in the table:
PQV Question The PQV question is derived from the checklist in Appendix A of the OSHA Compliance Directive (CPL 2-2.45A), which is based on the specific regulatory requirements for the element. Note that the verification portion of the checklist includes questions for records review, on-site conditions, and interviews. In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of information, this guidance document references the checklist questions from the records review section only. Specific questions or concerns from the on-site conditions and interviews sections that are not addressed in the records review section are accounted for in the positive and/or negative program indicators column.
Explanation The explanation clarifies or provides additional insight into the PQV question. In some cases, the explanation provides an interpretation of the PSM requirement. In no cases should the information contained in this column be viewed as a substitute for the actual regulatory requirement.
Positive Program Indicators The information included in the positive program indicators column is intended to provide guidance and examples on what to look -:.r in a well developed program. This column also includes guidance on what to iook for when evaluating PSM programs. This column is not intended to contain all conceivable attributes of a good program for all industry types. Rather, it is intended to provide suggestions and ideas on what a good program might include.

ABD00rU2W
Negative Program Indicators
The information in the negative program indicators column is intended to provide guidance on possible signs of a poor or incomplete program. This information could be of assistance for identifying potential problem areas when conducting PSM program evaluations. A PSM program that contains one or more of these attributes does not necessarily constitute a poor program. Rather, this information is intended to serve as a guide on what to look for in a less developed program.
it is important for the user of this manual to understand that over 25,000 employers may be covered under the PSM standard. Covered facilities range from large complex chemical, petrochemical, or petroleum facilities, to relatively simple ammonia refrigeration or chlorination systems. This guidance document cannot cover all of the possible ranges regarding the content of PSM program elements in the various industry groups. Additionally, since the PSM standard is a performance based regulation, this guidance document can not address the specific approaches different companies or facilities may choose to implement in complying with the requirements.
In addition to the table, this guidance document contains several helpful appendices, including:
Appendix A - List of Acronyms
Contains description of key acronyms used in the guidance document.
Appendix B - Glossary of Terms
Contains definitions of key terms used in the guidance document.
Appendix C - Technical References
Contains a list of helpful technical references to support the information presented in the table.
Appendix D - Example Program(s)
Contains example(s) of how this PSM element has been adopted. Most of the examples are actual programs provided by industrial companies.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
BLOCK FLOW DIAGRAM or BFD1 A diagram used to show the major process equipment and interconnecting process flow lines as well as flow rates, stream composition, temperatures, and pressures. The BFD is intended as a simplified diagram.
CHECKLIST2 Detailed list of desired system attributes or steps for a system or operator to perform. Usually written from experience and used to assess the acceptability or status of the system or operation compared to established norms.
CONSEQUENCE2 The direct, undesirable result of an accident sequence usually involving a fire, explosion, or release of toxic material. Consequence descriptions may be qualitative or quantitative estimates of the effects of an accident in terms of factors such as health impacts, economic loss, and environmental damage.
* DECISION TREES4 Decision trees are a special case of event tree models used to guide the user through multiple questions and provide a course of action based on the outcome of all of the questions. They provide no logical method of choosing the initiating event.
ELECTRICAL ONE-LINE DIAGRAM1 A diagram including legend of the electrical power distribution system that could contribute to a highly hazardous chemical release showing such items as power consumers, the chain of supply back through starters, distribution centers, substations to the main feeder, emergency power supply, and connections to various components. For complex systems, the one-line diagram may be a group of drawings.
FACILITY3 The buildings, containers and equipment that could reasonably participate in a catastrophic release as a result of being physically interconnected or of their proximity and in which dangerous substances are used, stored, manufactured, handled, or moved.
15
ABDOOTU3D05
FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS or FMEA1 A specifically designed method to identify the conceivable ways that a highly hazardous chemical equipment or its components can fail and the effect of the failure on the system with respect to a release. The failure and effects are determined in a study of updated piping and instrument diagrams that describe the facility taking into consideration process chemistry, standard operating procedures, maintenance procedures, operator job descriptions, process flow diagrams, inventory tabulations, electrical one-line diagrams and other documents. The resulting qualitative analysis is translated into a quantitative FMEA when probabilities of the failure of components are assigned. The results of the FMEA are reported for a unit or system of a facility on an FMEA table. The results are entered on a FMEA table for each equipment item or component studied are as follows: the identification number of the item, the name of the item, the other equipment potentially affected with the equipment identification number and the effect of the failure on that equipment, a classification of the criticality ranking of the failure based on quantity or rate of the potential release, the probability of the failure and the suggested action in terms of equipment or procedure to prevent the failure or to mitigate the results of the failure.
FAULT TREE ANALYSIS or FTA1 The analysis of the logic diagram constructed from a study of the updated piping and instrument diagrams that describe the facility taking into consideration process chemistry, standard operating procedures, maintenance procedures, operator job descriptions, process flow diagrams, inventory tabulations, electrical one-line diagrams and other documents. The logic diagram is called a fault tree and represents a qualitative analysis of the hazards. Results of the FTA are reported for a unit or system on a table. Entered on the table are the descriptions of the various combinations of equipment or procedural failures that can lead to a refease. The combinations are determined by solving the fault tree logic diagram for the minimal cut sets, that is, the smallest combination of equipment or procedural failures, which if all occur, will result in the "top event", that is the highly hazardous chemical release. The table is also entered with a criticality ranking based on the quantity or rate of the potential release, a probability for the respective failures and the suggested action in terms of equipment or procedure to prevent the failure or to mitigate the results of the failure. The analysis of the logic diagram includes the identification of "minimal cut sets." When probabilities are assigned to each element of the event sequence, a qualitative fault tree is obtained which gives the probability or frequency of occurrence of the release.
HAZARD2 An inherent physical or chemical characteristic that has the potential for causing harm to people, property, or the environment.
16
ABDOO103006

The study team shall consist of trained personnel knowledgeable in the technology and operations, such as process chemistry, the design of the system, the procedures of its operation and maintenance, and the related codes, standards and practices. In addition, the study team shall have technical expertise to answer most questions of the review without resorting to further expertise. The study team shall include a study leader specifically qualified for his or her leadership role by training or previous experience in HAZOP studies and a team secretary who shall record the results of the study. Persons who occupy these team study positions shall be technically trained and be available for the duration of the study. Results of the HAZOP study shall be reported by tabulation for a unit by key equipment, such as vessels or pipelines, and process parameter. The results are entered on the table as follows: guide word, causes of the deviation, consequences of the deviation in terms of a potential release, the criticality based on the quantity or rate of potential release and the suggested action in terms of equipment or procedure to mitigate the deviation.

iii POLICY ON MANAGEMENT OF PROCESS CHANGE
Smith's Ice Cream Company (Smith's) is committed to the safe operation of our facilities to protect our workers, the public and the environment. This is accomplished to a great extent by a well developed and implemented Process Safety Management (PSM) Program. An essential element in the PSM Program is to ensure that changes to the process do not introduce an unrecognized or unacceptable hazard, or compromise the safeguards built into the process.
It is Smith's policy that no modification may be made to the ammonia refrigeration equipment or procedures without proper review and authorization. The management of change procedures are designed to ensure ** at any modifications are properly reviewed and that any hazards introduced by the modifications are identified and controlled. It is also intended that the procedures be flexible and not hamper the ability of personnel to optimize the operation of a process. The Site Maintenance Supervisor and the OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator are responsible for ensuring that the management of change procedures are implemented for the ammonia refrigeration facility.
The management of change procedure includes the following elements:
Provisions to review and categorize the proposed change as either a minor change, major change, or replacement in kind;
Provisions to conduct a safety and health review for all changes and conduct a process hazards analysis (PHA) for major changes;
Provisions to ensure that changes are properly documented and communicated to the appropriate personnel.
Smith's shall evaluate the effectiveness of the management of change procedure, and update it as necessary, as part of the PSM audit. Process Safety Management audits are to be conducted on a frequency of at least once every three years.
ABDOO103020
1 I1 I 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1
Any facility or process is continually undergoing change. Changes may be implemented
I to improve the efficiency of the operation, improve the operability, improve safety or to replace mechanical equipment. Any change, regardless of how small or insignificant it
1 may seem, has the potential to compromise existing safeguards and have potentially catastrophic results.
I
It is recognized that change is essential during the life cycle of a facility or process. To
1 allow for such changes, but to ensure that unrecognized and/or unacceptable hazards
are not introduced, this procedure has been developed to help manage the necessary
1 changes. The objective of this procedure is to ensure that all changes are properly
reviewed and that any hazards introduced by the implementation of the change are
1 identified and controlled prior to placing the change in operation.

2.0 SCOPE
2.1 Equipment and Procedures
This management of change procedure is intended to apply to all equipment and procedures involving the ammonia refrigeration system.
The equipment which is included within the scope of this procedure includes:
Ammonia delivery system; Ammonia vessels (high pressure receivers,surge drums, pump receivers,
intercoolers); Ammonia compression system (compressors andcondensers); Ammonia distribution system; and, Ammonia heat transfer system (air units and glycol heat exchangers).
This procedure applies to any change in procedures as defined in Section 3.0, regardless of whether the change is considered major or minor, or is of a temporary or permanent nature.
2.2 Permanent and Temporary Change
All changes, whether considered temporary or permanent, shall be subject to review in accordance with this procedure. There shall be no differentiation between issues considered during review of a "permanent" change or a "temporary1' change. Adequate safeguards, either procedural or consisting of installed hardware, shall be provided to safely operate a temporary change. Since it is likely that more emphasis will be provided on procedural safeguards for temporary changes, closer scrutiny may be warranted for temporary changes to ensure the, modification does not represent an unacceptable risk.
ABDOO103022
3 In addition to all provisions contained herein for permanent changes, the following items shall be considered for temporary changes:
the duration of the temporary change shall be specified on the MCF; all installed temporary changes shall be logged, with the expiration date of
the change noted; and, prior to the expiration date of the change, the Site Maintenance Supervisor
shall confirm that the change is to be removed by the expiration date, ff necessary, an extension may be requested. The extension request shall be subject to approval in accordance with this procedure. No temporary change shall be granted more than five extensions, of a week long duration, or be allowed to extend beyond six weeks, including any extensions.
A copy of the original process documentation shall be kept in the PSM file along with the annotated documentation used for the temporary change. Upon removal of the temporary change, the Site Maintenance Supervisor is responsible for ensuring that the process is restored to the original condition with consideration to any permanent changes which may have been approved in the interim.
ABDOO103023
4 3.0 DEFINITIONS
The following is an alphabetical listing of terms and abbreviations used throughout this procedure with which a user of this procedure should be familiar. Where applicable, examples are given in order to provide clarification. These examples are intended to show typical issues which may arise and whether or not they constitute a change. This is not intended to be an all encompassing list of changes within the scope of this procedure. Rather, it is intended to provide guidance to help determine whether specific issues should be considered a change.
If in doubt whether a specific issue constitutes a change, it is recommended that it be considered a change and subject to the provisions of this procedure.
Catastrophic release:
A major release of ammonia resulting from uncontrolled developments which leads to, or could have led to, serious danger to persons both within and outside the workplace.
Change:
Any modification which affects the capability of a process to maintain control of the physical and chemical transformations taking place; including all modifications to equipment, procedures, computer software, raw materials and processing conditions other than "replacement in kind".
ABDOO103024

Change in computer software:
1
Temporary or permanent modification of computer software used to monitor and control
I the ammonia refrigeration system.
Examples:
I Change in alarm setpoints; Addition of alternate view screens; Change in control system logic.
Change in equipment:
Temporary or permanent modifications made to operating equipment. Examples: Substitution of a material of construction with a different material. For
* example, a process vessel and/or section of piping is designed with killed carbon steel. Replacement of a section of the equipment with ordinary carbon steel would constitute a change;
Replacement of a vessel with one of a different pressure rating; Piping changes; Replacing an existing field mounted, local pump control panel with a
programmable logic controller; Changing the elevation of a vessel nozzle or the discharge location of a
vessel outlet. For example, changing the location of a tank overflow from a location near the top of the tank to discharge at an elevation close to the ground; Installation of a bypass around a section of equipment; Installation of a parallel piece of equipment, such as a standby pump; Replacing a control valve with one of a different size; Replacing a gasket with one of a different material.
ABDOO103025
Change in facilities:
6
A change in facilities occurs whenever a change is made to plant services or utilities which would not necessarily appear on a process and instrument diagram.
Examples: Emergency back-up systems; Power supply system; Plant security; Fire detection and prevention system; Adjacent processes/equipment.
Change in procedures:
Temporary or permanent modification of written procedures. Examples: Standard operating procedures; Preventive maintenance procedures; Inspection and testing procedures; Emergency operating procedures; Training procedures and requirements.
Change in process technology:
A change in process technology arises whenever the process o' mechanical design is altered. A change in process technology may occur as a result of changes in the operating parameters (e.g., pressure, temperature), design inventories, instrumentation and control systems or materials of construction.
ABDOO103026
I
I I Examples:
An increase in ammonia inventory;
1 Equipment unavailability; Installation of new equipment, such as the installation of a new compressor;
1 A change in operating pressure (or temperature, or flow rate, etc.) outside of established operating limits. For example, the established operating
I limits for a specific piece of equipment are 0-25 psig. It is desired to
operate the equipment at 50 psig to obtain higher temperatures in the
I refrigeration system. Since the desired operating pressure (50 psig) is
outside the established limits, this would constitute a change.
I
Critical equipment:
Refers to vessels, machinery, piping, alarms, interlocks and controls determined by
1 management to be vita! to preventing the occurrence of a catastrophic release.
Hazard:
A potential for an accident with undesirable consequences, usually involving a loss of containment of flammable, combustible, highly toxic (i.e., ammonia) or reactive materials.
Hazard analysis techniques:
Analytical techniques which aid in identifying and evaluating process hazards. Typical hazard analysis techniques which may be used include the "What-lf technique and the Hazard & Operability (HAZOP) technique. Other techniques which may be used for specific circumstances are discussed in the Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation Procedures published by the Center for Chemical Process Safety of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. A hazard analysis is to be conducted on all changes classified as "major".
i
ABDOO103027
Major change:
8
A modification which has significant impact on process conditions or system parameters. Examples: Installation of an additional compressor; Increase in ammonia inventory;
Decommissioning major pieces of equipment; Installation of a significant amount of temporary piping;
Installation of a distributed control system; Change in the control logic of computer software; A change in process variables, such as a significant increase or decrease
in flow, temperature, or pressure.

ABDOO103028
Pre-startup safety review:
9
An inspection and technical review of a modification prior to implementation of the change to ensure that the modification has been installed in accordance with the approved design standards, that procedures are in place and adequate, and that training of operating personnel has been completed.
Process:
All activities that involve the receipt, storage, handling, compression, or movement of ammonia, including utility systems required for the safe operation of the ammonia facility.
Process hazard analysis:
The application of one or more hazard analysis techniques to aid in identifying and evaluating process hazards. A process hazard analysis is to be conducted for all changes classified as "major".
Replacement in kind:
Any process or equipment change performed in accordance with established design specifications. A "replacement in kind" does not require enactment of the Management of Change Procedure.
Examples: "Like for like" equipment replacement such as the replacement of a 400 Ton
Evapco condenser with a 400 Ton Niagara condenser (assuming both condensers have the same piping connections, instrumentation, and controls); "Like for like" equipment replacement such as the replacement of a 400 Ton Evapco condenser with an identical 400 Ton Evapco condenser; Changes which do not require a change to the facility's Process Safety Information.
ABDOO103029
Safety review checklist:
A checklist which addresses the safety, health ar.o environmental considerations of a proposed change. The safety review checklist is to be completed for all changes.
Temporary change:
A change with a limited and clearly specified duration. The time limit for a temporary change is not to exceed seven days. If necessary, a seven day extension may be requested. No more than five extensions may be requested. Any change with a duration of greater than six weeks should follow procedures for a permanent change.
Examples: Installing temporary piping, clamps, connections, utility connections or
hoses; Temporary operation with specific safeguards bypassed or inoperative.
care must be taken any time there is a need to bypass a safeguard. If at all possible, safeguards should only be bypassed when the system is not in operation under no circumstances should a pressure safety valve be blocked off during operation under no circumstances should any hardwired interlocks (eg. high compressor discharge pressure shutdown) be bypassed during operation

4.0 OVERVIEW OF MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE PROCEDURES
This management of change procedure is intended to ensure that all changes to the ammonia facility are properly reviewed and that any hazards introduced by the implementation of the change are identified and controlled. However, it is also intended that the procedure be flexible and not hamper the ability of personnel to optimize the operation of the refrigeration system. The procedure provides guidelines for screening proposed changes in order to facilitate the authorization of changes which have no significant safety, health or environmental implications.
The procedure works as follows:
A Management of Change Form (MCF) is initiated and submitted to the Site Maintenance Supervisor. The form includes; the priority of the change; the reason for the change; a description of the technical basis for the change;
The MCF is reviewed by the Site Maintenance Supervisor. The review involves; an initial assessment of the technical basis for the change; classification of the change as "replacement in kind", "minor", or "major"; identification of the change as temporary or permanent. If the change is temporary, indication of the duration for which the change is valid; identification of drawings, procedures, and documentation which need to be modified; assign a number for the MCF and log it;
ABD00103031
12 If the request does not fall within the definition of a change and thus is a
replacement in kind, then review, approval and disposition of the request is outside the scope of this procedure;
Preliminary engineering is done and reviewed by the Site Maintenance Supervisor, the Regional Engineer, or the OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator as necessary;
A review of the impact of the change on safety and health is conducted by the Site Maintenance Supervisor or the OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator;
If it is determined that the MCF constitutes a major change, as defined in this procedure, a formal process hazards analysis is conducted on the preliminary design;
Detailed engineering, procurement and construction is completing. During this phase, recommendations identified during the safety and health review and during the process hazards analysis (if an analysis was performed) should be addressed;
Pre-startup safety review is conducted to ensure that all drawings are annotated and updated to reflect any as-built changes, procedures are updated as necessary and training of personnel is conducted.

ABDOO103035
16 6.0 MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE PROCEDURES AND AUTHORIZATION
A number of steps are involved from the identification of the need for a change through to the final implementation of the change. A number of different persons and departments may also be involved. The following information describes the responsibilities at various levels in the organization for the major steps in the management of change procedure. The responsibilities are first described by the steps in the management of change procedure. The responsibilities are then summarized by department/individual.
6.1 Initiation of Management of Change Form
The first step in the management of change procedure is the identification of the need for a change and the initiation of a Management of Change Form (MCF). Section 1 of the MCF (see Appendix A) should be completed and signed by the individual originating the request. The MCF should be forwarded to the Site Maintenance Supervisor for review and approval. A request for change may be initiated from within either maintenance, operations, or management.
6.2 Screening of Management of Change Form
The Site Maintenance Supervisor receiving a MCF has the initial responsibility for reviewing the request. This initial screening of the MCF has two objectives.
The first is to assess the need for the requested modification. Suggestions for modifications to the refrigeration system are to be encouraged since many advantages may be gained. However, implementing a modification, or even the process of reviewing
ABDOO103036
r
I 17
T and eventually dismissing a modification request, costs the company time and money. J Therefore, an initial screening is necessary to weed out those modification requests which i are unnecessary, inconsistent with company policy or may represent an unacceptable
course of action.
! I
The second is to identify which modifications are changes. The Site Maintenance
j Supervisor receiving a MCF should review it to determine whether the modification being
requested falls within the definition of a change and if so, classify the change as '`minor",
j "major, or "replacement in kind" (see Section 3.0 for definitions).
j The Site Maintenance Supervisor must sign the MCF to indicate his/her approval of the
MCF, assign a number to the MCF, and log it (see Appendix B). The log will be used in order to track the progress of a request for change as well as to maintain a historical record of changes made to the system. A copy of the MCF, with assigned number, will 3 be sent to the OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator to indicate the MCF is being processed.
6.3 Replacement in Kind
If a modification request is determined to be a "replacement in kind", the Site Maintenance Supervisor may approve the request and return it to the originator for implementation without being subject to the provisions of this procedure.
6.4 Preliminary Engineering
The design and engineering of a change may be handled by the Site Maintenance Engineer, corporate engineering, or an outside contractor depending on the nature and scope of the change. Any design recommendations raised by the Site Maintenance
ABDOO103037
18 Supervisor, the Regional Engineer, or the OSHA/EPA C ompliance Coordinator will be addressed during the preliminary engineering. When preliminary engineering is sufficiently complete, the design should be resubmitted to the Site Maintenance Supervisor for a safety and health review and, in the case of a "major'1 change, for a process hazard analysis.
6.5 Safety and Health Review
After the preliminary engineering has been completed, a safety and health review of the change is conducted by using the safety review checklist. The safety review shall ensure that:
The modification has been installed in accordance with the approved design;
That any field modifications are noted on the drawings; A qualitative evaluation of a range of the possible safety and health effects
of failure of controls on employees in the workplace.
The Site Maintenance Supervisor or OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring the safety and health review is completed and documented with input from other departments and disciplines as needed.
6.6 Process Hazard Analysis
If the MCF constitutes a "major" change, it is necessary to conduct a process hazards analysis on the modificat'" The Site Maintenance Supervisor will designate a team to conduct a hazard analysis using an appropriate hazard identification technique. The hazard analysis is to be performed by a team of individuals. A typical analysis team
i*
* !
ABDOO103038
19
includes at least one individual knowledgeable in the analysis technique (usually the team leader or chairperson) as well as other individuals selected for their technical contribution to the study, with expertise in different areas such as engineering, operations, maintenance and safety. The Chairperson of the hazard analysis team will prepare a report describing any concerns which should be addressed during final engineering or implementation of the MCF. The Chairperson will then forward the hazard analysis report to the Site Maintenance Supervisor.
The process hazards analysis shall address:
The hazards of the process;
The identification of any previous incident which has a likely potential for
catastrophic consequences in the workplace;
Engineering and administrative controls applicable to the hazards and their
interrelationships such as appropriate application of detection
methodologies to provide early warning of
releases;
Consequences of failure of engineering and administrative controls;
Facility siting;
Human factors;
A qualitative evaluation of a range of the possible safety and health effects
of failure of controls on employees in the workplace.
6.7 Review of Recommendations
The Site Maintenance Supervisor or OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator will review all MCFs after preliminary engineering has been completed and a process hazard analysis and a safety and health review have been conducted. Any recommendations generated as a result of the preliminary engineering, process hazards analysis, or safety review must
ABDOO103039
20
be resolved prior to start-up. The resolution of all recommendations are to be documented. Documentation will include a description of the actions to be taken and a schedule for the implementation of recommendations. The reasons why any recommendations are not implemented will also be documented.
The Site Maintenance Supervisor and the OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator will sign the MCF indicating approval to proceed with final design, procurement, installation and start-up of the modification.
6.8 Conducting Pre-Startup Safety Review
A pre-startup safety review is to be conducted for the modifications to the ammonia refrigeration system prior to startup of the modified system. The review involves an inspection and technical review to ensure that the modification has been installed in accordance with the approved design standards, that procedures are in place and adequate, and that training of operating personnel has been completed. The specific procedures for conducting the review are documented in the "PRE-STARTUP SAFETY REVIEW PROCEDURES".
Management of change will require development of, or modification to, a number of documents. Any such documents which will be affected need to be identified early in the change process. Prior to start-up, these documents must be annotated or updated and all personnel informed and trained with regard to these changes.
Of particular importance is the change to any i `: -rnation included with the facility RMP file. The Site Maintenance Supervisor is responsible for ensuring that all documentation which is part of the PSM file is kept updated after a change has been made. For any temporary changes, the PSM files should include copies of any interim documents developed as part of the temporary change.
ABDOO103040
21 Key RMP documents that may need to be updated include:
Process Safety Information Information pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals in the process; Information pertaining to the technology of the process Information pertaining to the equipment in the process
Standard operating procedures; Preventive maintenance procedures; Operator training procedures; Contractor training procedures; Accident investigation procedures; Emergency response procedures; Audit program.
A copy of the marked up, as-built drawings and specifications shall be sent to the Site Maintenance Supervisor for inclusion in the PSM files. The PSM files are primarily contained in the Site Maintenance Supervisor's office.
Prior to starting up any modified facility, all necessary personnel shall be informed of the change and of the consequences of the change. Any orientation or training on the modified facility and/or modified procedures shall be completed before start-up. The Site Maintenance Supervisor or OSHA/EPA Compliance Coordinator shall be responsible to ensure that this communication of a change and training has been accomplished.

D-2 Management of Change Procedures - Petroleum Refinery The following example provides guidelines for a management of change procedure for a petroleum refinery. It includes a management of change checklist and a flow chart which outlines the various steps necessary to complete a change.
ABDOO103050
safety policies & procedure
MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE PROCEDURE
August, 1992
PURPOSE
To provide guidelines for Management of Change procedures within the
Refinery* The overall
aim is to successfully stream changes to the existing facility or any new facility safely.
This procedure also meets the requirements of the API RP750 Management of Process Hazards and OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.119 Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals.
SCOPE
The Management of Change Procedure should be used when a change, either temporary or permanent, is made to process chemicals, technology, equipment, procedures and facilities within the Refinery that requires a change in the Process Safety Information. This will cover, but is not limited to, such changes as:
o Changes in feed stocks and new chemicals (including additives) outside design specifications.
o Changes in health conoitions (e.g. heat, noise, radiation). o Physical changes, including piping, exchangers, pumps, control valves, instrument or
electrical controls and tubing revisions. o Use or rented or leased equipment attached to any process, laboratory or distribution
unit.
o Changes in specifications or metallurgy of exchangers, control valves, pumps and transmitters.
o Changes in specifications of electrical systems and relief systems. o Additions or changes of any Advanced Controls. o Temporary changes, including pipe clamps or patches, wire wrapping or pumping of
block valves, stopples and bypassing of interlocks.
Where the impact of the change is minor and well understood, the Pre-Startup Safety Review checklist, initiated by the Project Sponsor may be used to communicate the change to the personnel involved with the change.
Exceptions to the Management of Change Procedures are:
o Operational changes made within the established operating limits (parameters) or established procedures.
o Direct replacement "in kind" of equipment or materials. This is a replacement where basic design, maintenance and operations of the new item is essentially the same as the original item.
Approved:
Refinery Manager

Management of Change
August. 19S2
I. OBJECTIVE
Management of Change will cover procedures used when changes are made to the Refinery. Temporary repairs, connections, bypasses or other modifications may be built out of operating necessity. Any change from existing design specifications in equiomenx. processes, chemicals, operating procedures or other areas which can have an imoac: or. process safety will constitute the use of the Management of Change Procedure. Any of these changes can introduce new hazards or compromise the safeguards built into the original design. Since the refinery is subject to continual change to increase efficiency, improve operability, accommodate technical innovation and implement mechanical improvements, care must be taken to understand the process safety implications of any changes made and document and communicate the changes to the proper personnel.
II. DEFINITIONS
A. Protect Sponsor
The Project Sponsor is the originator of the reouest for a plant change. Through close interface with the Technical Department. Maintenance Department, Safety Department and the Operations Department, everyone must assure that the changes to the refinery are designed and constructed to maintain a safe operation of the facilities. He/she is to coordinate responsibilities with the resoective departments to insure that the Management of Change Checklist is completed, facilitating full integration of the facilities into the existing refinery. It is the responsibility of the Project Sponsor to coordinate activities of the departments involved with the change and assign responsibilities to department representatives. Monitoring progress through ail phases of the project includes: Pre-Management of Change review meeting, environmental review, monitoring construction, training, pre-startup safety review meeting, seeing that construction drawings are updated ana full project completion.
B. Permanent-Changes
A permanent change covers such changes in process technology such as feed stocks, new product development, change in catalyst and changes in operating conditions outside of the design parameters. Equipment changes include materials of construction, piping changes, eauioment specifications, experimental eguipment. process control revisions ana changes in alarms and interlocks.
C. Temporary Changes
Temporary changes are changes to the process or equipment for a defined perior These changes will need to be tracked to make sure they are not forgonen. Example of temporary changes are hot taos, stopples, pumping or wire wrapping block valves pioe clamps or patches and bypassing safery equipment (i.e. interlocks, safety reliet valves). Temporary changes must identify e plan to return the change to original design or specifications. This can include adding the repair to the next schedulec turnaround work list or scheduling a shutdown to return the change to original design.

A Management of Change CheckJist is used to identify responsibilities and duties
necessary to put the plant change in service. A Plant Change applies to any change,
temporary or permanent, made to process chemicals, technology, eauioment.
procedures and facilities within the
Refinery that requires a change in the
Process Safety Information, it is the project sponsor's responsibility to see that the
checklist is approved by the person responsible for completing the items on the
checklist. An approval signature or a N/A is required next to the duties listed in tne
checklist, along with signatures at the bottom of the checklist before the change is
implemented. This will cover, but is not limited to, such changes as:
1. Changes in feed stocks and new chemicals (including additives! outside design specifications.
2. Changes in health conditions (e.g. heat, noise, radiation!. 3. Physical changes, including piping, exchangers, pumps, control valves,
and instrument or eiecthcal controls. 4. Use of rented or (eased equipment attached to any process, laboratory or
distribution unit. 5. Changes in specifications or metallurgy of exchanges, control valves,
pumps, transmitters, electrical systems and relief systems. 6. Additions or changes of any Advanced Controls.
e. v?Q?na
A variance procedure has been established to incorporate situations which mav develop and cannot wait for the norms Management sf Change Procec e to be implemented. The Management of Chang: Variance Pro; .dure Checklist is to oe used when a process or equipment change is required to maintain safe unit operation or prevent environmental violations. It asks for the scope of the change, the reason it is necessary, the safety, healtn and environmental considerations, alternative to installing the equipment and the person or persons responsible for approving tne variance. The original Variance Checklist should be kept and attached to the Management of Change Checklist. The next business day, the Complex Operating Supervisor will identify the oroiect sponsor and will initiate the standard Management of Change Checklist to verify and document the plant change.
The Variance Checklist can also be used when items such as updating construction drawings, updating process and equipment information manuals and stocking warehouse parts cannot be completed before the project is put into service. The Variance Checklist will be attached to the Management of Change CheckJist for approval before putting the change in service. Both checklists will be sent to the Process Safety Manager to track the variance items to completion.

F. Pre-Startup Safety Review Checklist
A Pre-Startup Safety Review Checklist will be used to verify that all requirements are met before the change is put into service. The checklist is used as a final check to ensure that the change is complete, training has taken place. Process Safety Information is updated and, if required, a Process Hazard Analysis has taken place and recommendations addressed.
A Pre-Startup Safety Review Checklist may also be used as a means to track minor and well understood changes. The checklist, initiated by the Project Sponsor, can be used to communicate changes that are minor and well understood to the departments involved in the change. Examples of changes which this checklist can be used for are: changes in chemicals which perform the same function, changes to equipment information which affect only one department and temporary repairs. Examples of temporary repairs are: pumping valve packing or bonnets and installation of pipe/clamps or patches. Temporary repairs or changes require plans be implemented to return the equipment to original design or specifications.
III. RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the Project Sponsor to coordinate activities of the departments involved with the change. Monitoring progress through all phases of the project include: Management of Change review meeting, environmental review, construction, training, pre-startup safety review meeting, initial start-up, seeing that construction drawings are updated and full project completion. The Management of Change Checklist will be the document to verify that all necessary requirements have taken place before the change is put into service. The first step in initiating the Management of Change Procedure is scheduling a Pre-Management of Change Meeting.
A. Pre-Management of Change Meetino
The Project Sponsor will initiate a Pre-Management of Change Meeting with all departments associated with the change. This meeting is the first step in initiating the Management of Change Procedure. Its purpose is to communicate to everyone involved with the change the operating objectives, the maintenance requirements, delegation of responsibilities and any safety or environmental hazards associated with the change. During this meeting, the change will be explained, responsibilities will be assigned to each department for implementing the change, identify whether a Process Hazard Analysis is required and set a timetable of when the change is to be put in service. The responsibility and completed columns of the Management of Change Checxi^st should be assigned to individuals who are responsible for seeing that the respective items are completed. The PSM Coordinator from Operations will assign a number to the change to be used to track the thange to completion.

The Pre-Startup Safety Review team will consist of members of the same departments that are associated with the change, A Pre-Startup Safety Review will be held when all the above items are in place and before the modification is ready to be put in service. The Pre-Startup Safety Review Checklist should be used to verify that ail the necessary requirements in the checklist have been completed or addressed. Items that require completion before startup must be put on a 'punch list* and signed off complete by the Operations Supervisor on shift before startuo. The Project Sponsor is responsible for setting up the PreStartup Safety Review meeting.
All construction drawings will need to be updated in the master file within the crafting department. Construction drawings include plot plans, spool, electrical, underground, civil and structural steel support drawings. If these can not be updated before the-change is put in service, the change should be marked on the drawing and sent to the drafting department. A Management of Change Variance Checklist also needs to be filled out and attached to the MOC Checklist and to the marked up drawings. This variance will be used to track the change to completion.
IV. DEPARTMENT CHECKLISTS
Separate Management of Change Checklists can be used when a change is made to equipment within a department that has little or no effect on other departments. Some examples covered in these checklists are changes where the design specifications remain the same, such as equipment manufacturers and imoroved product Quality. Bypassing interlocks and changes to Honeywell schematics also require a department checklist. Examples and descriptions of these r^reklist are attached.
