Organisational change is a normal and inevitable part of business life in all sectors. But organisations associated with major accident hazards have a greater potential for disastrous consequences. These consequences mean that organisations managing major hazards must aim for much higher reliability than is normally necessary in commercial decision making.

Many forms of organisational change can affect management of major hazards. Changes could include: changes to roles and responsibilities, organisational structure, staffing levels, staff disposition or any other change that may directly or indirectly affect the management of major hazards. These changes are rarely assessed and controlled effectively as changes to process or plant.

KK Risk can conduct a gap analysis of existing organisational change management process and/or help with the development of a system for managing organisational changes that can affect the management of major hazards.
