This texts authors personal chemical plant experiences include training needs checklists for both new salaried and new chemical process operators. These checklists include an entire array of personnel safety, process safety, and Department ofTransportation and environmental stewardship focus points. Unfortunately, unauthorized and inept changes can ruin products, equipment, reputations, and more, so MOC refresher training must be conducted more frequently. A yearly refresher course on MOC is a condition of employment. I am familiar with a course that is a locally developed, computer-based training module.
