1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
The procedure describes & covers management of change process in Maintenance Department complying with Process Safety
& Risk Management (PSRM No. 4 & 8).
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that the changes to the documented process safety information package are reviewed
and approved before implementation.
This procedure applies to ALL changes (process chemicals, technology, equipment, procedures, and changes to facilities that
may affect a covered process) in the plant, except "replacement-in-kind". This procedure assures that the following
considerations are addressed prior to any change:
1.2 SCOPE
The following classifications of changes have been covered in this procedure. They shall all follow the change paths described
in this procedure unless otherwise exempted in section 8. Facility Changes [Requires Sub-SOC (M) Approval]
1. Temporary Changes [Requires temporary repair authorization]
2. Subtle Changes [Requires subtle change authorization]
3. Test Run Authorization.
Procedure is applicable wherever Maintenance has taken up the responsibility of the facility.
To properly manage changes to technology, equipment and facilities, a change shall be defined, categorized and authorized. This
section details the change types, which includes all modifications to equipment, procedures, other than "replacement in kind".
Equipment changes include among others change in materials of construction, equipment specifications, experimental equipment, and
addition of equipment and test runs.
To ensure safety and competitiveness, an existing facility has to be constantly changed, or put a new facility. Any plant employees may
propose facility changes, however, these changes must be accomplished without compromising safety, health or the environment.
2.1.1.2 Inspection Section Head/ group Leader (In case of Stationary Equipment)
2.1.1.3 Machinery Section Head / Group Leader (In case of Rotary Equipment), if any
2.1.1.4 Concerned Area Field Maintenance Unit Manager, if available
2.1.1.5 Concerned Area Operations Unit Manager
2.1.1.6 HSE Advisor
2.1.2 Sub- SOC (M) to review the package and relevant safety concerns.
3. SUBTLE CHANGES
Subtle changes are the changes, which are with in the documented process technology (PSI) but are not replacement in kind. These
subtle changes must be reviewed and authorized BY Sub-SOC (M) chairman . These changes will be considered ‘permanent’ and will
not be reverted as in the case of ‘Temporary Repairs’. For example:

4.1 Temporary changes may cause a number of catastrophes over the years, therefore, these changes shall be documented so that
they are distinguished from repairs or permanent changes. Temporary changes are subject to the management of change process. In
addition, the management of change procedures is used to insure that the equipment and procedures are returned to their original or
designed conditions at the end of the temporary change. It is important that a time limit for temporary changes be established and
monitored since, without control, these changes may tend to become permanent.
