OSHA Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals... 

Water and steam are nearly always present in most chemical processes. Their physical properties are generally well understood. Process perils are sometimes related to the infamous deeds of water and steam. The thrust of OSHAs Process Safety Management Law of 1992 focused on the processes that handled a list of 140 highly hazardous chemicals as well as processes that contained an over 10,000 pounds (4,540 kg) of flammable liquids or gases. Even after those chemicals are handled with higher levels of mechanical integrity and additional scrutiny, we will still need to keep our eye on water and its sometimes evil twin, steam.

These are instrument loops that are necessary to avoid perilous situations. These critical consequence instrumentloops are those whose failure would either cause, or fail to inform of, situations resulting in accidental fire, explosion, uncontrolled release of dangerous materials, personal injury, or death. The OSHA Process Safety management loops fall within this group. 

Common sense and the OSHA Process Safety Management standard require a formal method to effectively deal with change in the chemical industry. The safety designed into the original process often occurs after a multidisciplined design team agonized for the optimum arrangement of process and layout. This process safety must not be jeopardized by modification schemes of poor quality. 

You could very easily conclude that nowadays, several years after the OSHA Process Safety Management standard, most companies have similar MOC systems. That is just not true. Most MOC systems are different at each corporation, and somewhat different at each location. Most MOC systems are like snowflakes, most are significantly different in details than the MOC system at the organization down the road.
