Safety Management System

Health and safety at work takes a collaborative effort from everyone in an organisation, but it’s a legal obligation for the workplace itself to meet safety regulations. The creation of a strong and ongoing safety management system is one of the most important systems you’ll put in place.

What is a Safety Management System?

A safety management system identifies potential risks, outlines whose responsibility these risks are, and identifies the actions that need to be taken. Organisations of all sizes need safety management systems to comply with safety regulations, promote a healthy and safe workplace culture and to know that they have efficient and compliant safety processes in place.

5 Key Elements of a Safety Management System

There are five key elements to an effective safety management system:

1. Management commitment and policy
2. Planning
3. Implementation
4. Measurement and evaluation
5. Review and improvement.
