For chemical + process plants
The planner that knows hot work and process hazard analysis.
Describe the change — replace a valve, tie in a new line, upgrade instrumentation — and the plan comes back with the right safety steps. Does this need a hot-work permit? A process hazard analysis (PHA) redline? Operator retraining? Surfaced automatically. Works for plants running formal management of change (MOC) and for plants without one that need structure to keep small changes from becoming incidents. Multi-stage MOC workflow modules ship in the Professional tier (Coming Soon).
The regulations you’re accountable for
Running a PSM-covered process. Everything below is non-optional; generic PM tools are silent on all of it.
- OSHA PSM 1910.119(l) — Management of Change — ChangePilot is built around this workflow.
- OSHA PSM 1910.119(i) — Pre-Startup Safety Review — hard gate before restart.
- OSHA PSM 1910.119(e) — Process Hazard Analysis — change impact on existing PHA surfaced.
- EPA RMP 40 CFR 68.75 — Covered-process MOC for environmental risk management.
- ISO 14001 8.1 — Operational planning and control for environmental management.
What generic PM tools miss
Asana, Jira, and Copilot all treat “install new pressure transmitter” as a generic task. None of them know it might be a replacement-in-kind (no MOC required) or a functional change (full PHA redline and PSSR). You're the one who has to know — and bounce between PM tool and MOC spreadsheet to keep it straight.
If your plant already runs formal MOC, the slow part is the 30-minute MOC-record intake for every small change — so “small” changes bypass it, and those are the ones that show up in incident reports six months later. Use this for the routine work; the MOC module (shipping soon) picks up where formal review is required.
If you don't have a formal MOC program — smaller shop, non-PSM-covered process, or one that's graduated past emails-and-spreadsheets but isn't ready for Enablon — this is structured project planning that respects the PSM vocabulary without the enterprise-grade price tag.
What changes when you use ChangePilot
Items below are tagged Available today or Coming Soon so you know exactly what ships in v1 vs what’s on the Professional-tier roadmap.
Plain-English scoping that speaks PSM
Type “replace the Fisher ED control valve on D-201 overhead” and the planner pulls out the equipment + the scoping properties (criticality, classification context, dependent procedures) the way an MOC coordinator would frame them. The change-classification question (replacement-in-kind vs functional change) is asked up front so the conversation starts in the right place. Available today.
Audit-trail PDF an auditor can read
Every status change, every approval, every evidence upload — one-click PDF export with user + timestamp + justification. The same PDF a corporate auditor or external compliance reviewer would expect to receive for the underlying project record. Available today.
Built for the 200 routine changes, not just the quarterly big ones
Team tier ($49/mo) is unlimited projects. Formal MOC software charges per change record and takes 30 min of data entry to open one — so “routine” changes bypass it, and those are the ones that show up in incident reports six months later. ChangePilot is for the changes that shouldn't need the heavyweight overhead. Available today.
Coming Soon: full MOC workflow + PSSR enforcement
Multi-stage MOC workflow, PSSR as a hard gate before closeout, hot-work permit linking, lessons-learned-as-you-plan — these ship as the Change Management module in the Professional tier. v1 customers get structured planning + the PSM vocabulary in the planner today; the workflow gates layer on when the module ships.
Try it — here’s a prompt that works for your world
Install a new Fisher ED control valve on the overhead vapor line of D-201 to replace the aging Masoneilan 28000. Same Cv and trim, but supplier is different. Running C-2 propylene oxide process. Change needs MOC per 1910.119(l), PHA redline check, PSSR before startup, and operator retraining on the new valve signature. Outage window is 48 hrs over Memorial Day weekend.
Paste this into /screener/actions and compare the result to what Copilot gives you for the same prompt.
Run a real MOC through it.
Paste a change you're triaging now. The plan you get back should read like something an MOC coordinator wrote. If it doesn't, we want to know — we care more about getting this vertical right than about the pitch.
