- 11. 1. Modification Control System • Development of Electronic system • Checksheet and reviewer inputs requiring comments • Authoriser provided details of comments, usually assigned conditions • Details of HAZOP and Review actions assigned and followed up via Actions Review • Notifications via email • Pre-commissioning and Post commissioning checks. • OH&S signoff 1.

- 13. 13 2. Remove Utilities from Process • Utility steam and air not intended for connection to process streams • Generally lower pressure than process units can get • Process streams need proper pressure and or flow control – NRV’s fail • (This was another indicator of loss of integrity originally designed in). 2. Utilities connected to Process Utilities
