Safety Management System
A Safety Management System (SMS) is a comprehensive framework designed to manage and improve safety performance within an organization. It integrates policies, procedures, and practices to identify, assess, and mitigate risks effectively. An SMS typically includes components such as safety planning, hazard identification, risk assessment, incident reporting, and ongoing monitoring. By establishing clear safety objectives and accountability structures, an SMS helps organizations comply with regulatory requirements, enhance workplace safety culture, and continuously improve safety practices. Through systematic documentation and regular reviews, an SMS ensures that safety measures are implemented consistently and are aligned with the organization's overall goals.
