Frequently Asked Questions About Management of Change (MOC) Software
What is Management of Change (MOC)?
MOC is a structured process for proactively identifying, assessing, and managing changes within an organization. An effective change control process helps reduce the risk of injuries, environmental incidents, quality issues, and regulatory non-compliance.
Why is MOC Important?
An effective management of change program identifies and controls safety and operational risks before changes occur. This reduces the risk of injuries, environmental incidents, quality issues, operational inefficiency, regulatory non-compliance, and much more. Please see our blog article on PSM Management of Change to learn more about the importance of an effective MOC process.
What Regulations and Standards Require an MOC Program?
Regulations that require an MOC process include:
- OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard
- 40 CFR 68.75 of EPA's Risk Management Program (RMP) Requirements
- United Kingdom's Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Standard
- API RP 1173 – Pipeline Safety Management Systems
- ISO 45001 Section 6.1
- ISO 14001 Section 6.1
How Does MOC Software Help Ensure Compliance?
Consistent and accurate regulatory compliance can be one of the most daunting challenges that organizations face, and our MOC software is designed to make regulatory compliance easy. Compliance with rules, regulations, requirements, zoning, permits, recordkeeping, safety training, and other compliance requirements can be tracked with our MOC software solution. You can rest easy knowing that you are in compliance with OSHA, ISO, PSM, EPA, DOT, and all of the other entities that regulate your industry.
What Types of Changes Should Be Managed Through an MOC Process?
Any change that could impact health and safety, regulatory compliance, or quality should go through a structured review process prior to being implemented. Examples include changes to:
- Process chemicals
- Technology
- Procedures
- Equipment
- Facilities
- Management personnel
- Staffing changes (for example, if staffing levels decrease such that adherence to existing procedures is not possible or changes in staffing experience could impact safety/performance)
- Budgets (for example, if budget levels decrease such that adherence to existing procedures is not possible)
For additional examples, see our page on What Can Management Of Change Software Track.
How Can MOC Software Help?
There are countless reasons to use a management of change software solution. MOC software can help reduce risk, increase safety, ensure compliance, and improve the accuracy of recordkeeping. As a result of using software:
- Changes are approved and implemented more quickly
- Reviewers spend less time completing their reviews
- Employees are more likely to embrace and use your MOC process
How Does MOC Software Improve Collaboration?
Management of change software provides a centralized platform where users have enhanced visibility and real-time information regarding changes being made in the workplace. Learn how MOC software improves collaboration.
Is Ecesis Difficult to Implement?

Will Your MOC Software Make Our Approval Process Faster?
Yes! Our entire MOC Software Solution is designed to improve operational efficiency. A few features that will make your MOC Program more efficient include:
- Automated notifications
- Verification that required information is completed before submittal
- Conditional questions to keep forms as short as possible

Are Your MOC Forms Customizable?
Yes, our management of change solution makes it easy to customize your MOC forms and workflows to meet your current and future needs.
Does Your Software Manage Temporary MOCs?
Yes, temporary change requests are assigned an expiration date. Users are notified by email as this due date approaches and then may request an extension.
Does Your MOC Software Allow Me to Add or Subtract Review Requirements Based on Risk?
Yes, MOC forms may include risk assessment questions that display conditional questions, require uploading of documents, create action items, and/or turn on additional review requirements.
What is an MOC Risk Assessment?
An MOC Risk Assessment is a process used to identify and evaluate the potential consequences of a change to determine its severity and likelihood of occurrence. Changes that have a high severity and a high likelihood of occurring present a high risk, and the MOC process needs to be more rigorous in order to ensure adequate controls are put in place so as not to increase the risk of injuries, downtime, environmental degradation, etc.
What Considerations Must Be Included in an MOC Process?
Considerations vary in management of change processes, but as an example, the OSHA PSM Standard requires consideration of the following prior to implementing a change:
- The technical basis for the proposed change
- Impact of change on safety and health
- Modifications to operating procedures
- Necessary time period for the change
- Authorization requirements for the proposed change
Please check out our Management of Change Best Practices page for other MOC best practices.

What Should I Look For in an MOC Software Solution?
Prior to selecting an MOC solution, we recommend that you evaluate at least three options from MOC software vendors. Items you should consider during this review include:
- Cost
- Implementation Process
- Ease of Use
- Effectiveness
- Configurability and Customization
- Integration
- Mobile App
- Security and Privacy
- Technical Support
- Experience of the MOC Software Vendor
Please see Comparing Management Of Change Software Solutions for more information on each of these considerations.
How Do Manufacturers Use Management of Change Software?
Our MOC software is a top choice for manufacturers who have complicated processes or are within a highly regulated industry. The MOC software can be integrated with SSO (Single-Sign-On) and SAP (Systems Applications and Products) software, as well as other software solutions. Changes to workflows, quality assurance protocols, vendors, equipment, personnel, and much more can be tracked using our Management of Change software.
How Can I Justify Implementing an MOC Program?
MOC programs quickly pay for themselves. As an example, operations personnel could bring a new piece of equipment on-site without an air permit. This might result in a violation of the Clean Air Act, which could cost your company $46,192 per day. As another example, warehouse personnel could purchase a new forklift, and if you fail to provide additional training on this forklift, injuries and costly OSHA violations could occur.
How Does MOC Software Help Assess and Mitigate Risks Associated with Emergency Changes?
MOC software facilitates risk assessments for emergency changes. It helps organizations identify potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them. This ensures that safety remains a top priority during crisis response.
