11. MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE (MP:12)

The purpose of Management of Change (MOC) is to verify that changes in facilities, documentation,
personnel and operations are evaluated and managed. Management will ensure that the safety, health,
quality and environmental risks arising from these changes are controlled.
HB have identified three main degrees of change within an organisation and within a specific project. These
are as follows;
             Permanent Change - A change is considered long term and durable. Any change which is not
              categorised as a Temporary Change.
             Temporary Change - A change which has a defined lifetime and which will be removed before
              a defined date (usually no more than six months). All temporary changes must have a
              specified removal date.
             Emergency Change - The emergency change path allows the change to be implemented and
              commissioned immediately in order to address an immediate safety, operational, health,
              environmental, or product quality situation.
Resulting from the MOC process controlled documents may need alteration, controlling and reissuing which
would be managed under the HB Corporate Management Procedure OHS Records and Document
Development (MP:12). The process identified below will assist in the MOC with respect to the Operational
and resourcing issues that may be encountered on the project.
The two significant types of change that will affect the project are:
      Systems Change
A systems change includes a change in the system as a result of a defect, identified hazard, incident, accident,
environmental impact or the like that will result in a change to the systematic approach to delivery. This type
of change will not impact the program if rectified immediately.
      Operations Change
An operations change is any change to the process that will affect the operations and impact overall program.
The operations change may include resourcing issues, subcontractor deficiencies, management of key
personnel, design changes etc.
At HB all personnel will identify changes & initiate the MOC process when required. The MOC will be handled
initially by the project management team and will then be escalated to the Team Leader if a resolution cannot
be sought. The Corporate Safety Manager may also be required to assist when a systems change has the
potential to impact the entire organisation.
The change management process at HB will be managed through the use of a Corrective Action Report Form
(HB-HSEQ-F-029-A) and will be submitted through the project team and recorded on the Project CAR Register
(HB-HSEQ-F-029).
The following areas will be reviewed as part of the CAR process;

             Changes are designed so that the safety, health, environmental, and security risks remain
              acceptable. Changes are analysed for safety, health, human factors, environmental, and
              product quality impact, using methods appropriate to the hazards associated with the change.
             Changes are described in documentation that includes the reasons for the change and the
              potential impact to safety, security, human factors, health, environment, and product quality.
             Changes are communicated to employees and third parties before the employees become
              involved in operating the equipment or processes that have changes.
