APPENDIX 4
PART 1 MOC CHECKLIST (DESIGN REVIEW)
This Design Review checklist covers the Design Basis (DB) and Detailed Engineering (DE) stages. Each stage
should be signed off accordingly. This will assess the viability of the proposed modifications from the various
aspects such as safety, operability, maintainability, hazards. The assessment should be done by experienced
personnels with relevant knowledge and experience. They will mark the Checklist below. Any critical concerns
should be explained in details in the last comment box below. The concerns should be addressed at the design
phase of the project life cycle. This will avoid unexpected design problems later - which will lead to variation order,
punchlists, disputes etc.
DB = Design Basis Review DE= Design Engineering Review

1.0 HEALTH , SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL (Responsible Group(s) for Consultation: HSE) Y N NA STG
1.1 PERSONNEL HAZARDS - Do the modifications create any unusual exposure to personnel from: flame, DB
noise, heated or cold surfaces, electrical hazards, toxic or flammable gas leaks, cryogenic leaks? Can the
design be changed to minimize the possibility of such exposures?
1.2 Are additional engineering controls required (shielding, fans, ventilation, continuous gas monitors, alarms, DB
remote indication)?
1.3 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS - Has a review been made of any HSE DB
regulations (factories Act, EPCA etc) that may apply to this modification?
1.4 STATUTORY COMPLIANCE - Need to consider compliance to MOM regulations, NEA requirements etc? DB
Require consideration of the relevant Codes of Practice and Specifications?
1.5 RISK ASSESSMENT - Is Hazard review (QRA, HAZOP, Job Safety Analysis, Risk matrix) required? DB
1.5.1 Has the risk assessment considered the site changes and any new exposures to the public? DB
1.6 LARGE STORAGE TANKS - Does the site modification involve the addition of large storage tanks that DB
could create an off-site risk if a leak or spill occurs? Are tanks containing flammables being added to the
site?
1.7 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS – Is there any changes to the existing fire protection system or are any DB
new fire protection systems required in accordance with good engineering practice or local building codes?
Has the SCDF been notified of any changes or additions to the site fire protections systems?
1.8 CONFINED SPACE REQUIREMENTS – Sometimes we need the contractor to provide special safety DE
requirements such as full time site safety officers , or lifting supervisors,or Confined space attendents,
continuous gas monitoring portable devices near hot work area, adequate ventilation blowers etc; we
need to inform or specify in Scope of Work for contractors. This will allow them to budget and plan for the
requirements. Otherwise, they will find it unviable to comply. Is the inclusion into Scope of Work
necessary?
1.9 EQUIPMENT LAYOUT – Sometimes piping and equipment layout can cause maintainability or operability DE
problems. Best way to avoid is formally inform the contractor upfront on layout quidelines and best
practices. Make it mandatory for the contractor to submit the Isometric drawings to the Unit Opn
supervisors for signature endorsement before fabricating. The O&M SV must visit the site itself to
physically check against the isometrics drawings before endorsing it. The principle here is to avoid
tripping hazards and overhead obstructions unnecessarily; while ensuring ergonomically easy access to
important valves and equipments for operation and maintenance. When the layout is congested, have
steps, walkways, walking surfaces, signposts, sufficient lighting to ensure that personnel do not become
exposed to ergonomic hazards. Is this required?
1.10 NOISE - Will noise levels increase? Have mitigation methods been considered (lagging, noise curtains, DB
barriers, vent or in-line silencers, enclosures, levels at plant boundary)? Is the cost for noise mitigating
devices such as noise hoods factor into the modification Budget?
1.11 PLATFORMS, HANDRAILS DE
Will the addition require the installation of equipment to work at elevations or gain access to the
modification at unsafe heights? Check the requirements for additions of platforms, handrails, guard rails,
ladders.
Issue: A
1.12 BARRICADES - Are barricades, machine guards, bump posts, chain guards to restrict access, or railings DE
needed?
1.13.1 CHEMICAL USE - Will new chemicals (including catalysts) be brought onsite? DB
1.13.2 Will the volume of existing chemicals stored onsite increase? DB
1.13.3 Will there be new or increased sources of oil created, e.g., compressors, expanders, machinery? If so,
changes in chemical inventories may need to be reported to government agencies and emergency DB
response agencies. Site emergency and spill contingency plans may need to be modified.
1.13.4 Has the MSDS been considered for the affect on handling, design for maintenance, or installation DB
methods?
1.13.5 Flammable material – Are any new flammable materials to be introduced. Does any licence required by DB
SCDF?
1.14 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Is additional respiratory protection required because of personnel hazards created by air contaminants DB
released or created during installation, startup, normal operation or maintenance of the modification?
1.15.1 PROCESS AND UTILITY VENTS – Will there be any new vents being added to the site? DE
1.15.2 Have these been considered for proper location and size to prevent the formation of a hazardous DE
atmosphere in the working areas?
1.15.3 Is vent location, elevation adequate to prevent exposure to personnel? DE
1.15.4 If The vent is a flammable vent stack, an analysis of heat radiation from the stack must be performed to DE
ensure personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of heat.
1.15.5 Are any new ladders, platforms, or walkways being located where personnel could be exposed to a DE
hazardous release from existing process and utility vents?
1.16.1 DEMOLITION - Will the change require demolition of equipment? DE
1.16.2 Will this cause any specific health or safety problems as a result of contained materials being released or DE
discharged during demolition (asbestos, mercury, lead, catalyst dust, rockwool fibers, etc.)?
1.16.3 Is monitoring required to assess exposure during the demolition process? DE
1.17 SYSTEM ISOLATION - To accomplish the tie-in of the new equipment to the existing system, determine if DE
the proper systems isolation can be accomplished in accordance with lockout-tagout procedures. Will
additional valves, blinds, or vent be needed to perform safe maintenance of the system?
1.18 DISPOSAL - Will demolition or disposal of any of the unused equipment create special health or safety DE
hazards that must be considered in the change?
1.19.1 LIFTING DEVICES - Have cranes been considered for the removal of heavy objects? DE
1.19.2 Do the lifting devices meet safety standards? DE
1.19.3 Check capacity, stability, location, etc. Is lifting Supervisor required during the construction? DE
1.19.3 Do we need to put this requirement in the Scope of Work? DE

PART 2.2 MOC CHECKLISTS

(PRE-RUN IN OR FLUSHING CHECKLIST -Commissioning Supervisor to find out)
PRE-RUN IN OR FLUSHING PROCEDURES – An operation approved procedures must be prepared to perform

equipment is flushing to clean pipeworks of welding slags & construction debris, or steam blowed, or pigged (for ball
valves). After blowing or cleaning, some valve bodies may need to be opened immediately to remove collected debris
from the valve seats. Otherwise, the valves seats will be damaged and become passing. The pre-commissioning
procedures must cover these procedures & identify the stages of sectionalized cleaning of the new pipe work
modification. Is this required and available? Y / N /A
