Safety Management Systems (SMS)
Safety at work, and especially in high-hazard environments, does not just happen. To ensure the best possible performance a top quality Safety Management System is essential.
The HSE have issued guidance on various elements of SMS in HSG 65 (the POPMAR model) and R2P2 (reducing Risks, Protecting People). For the SMS to be successful, the various features of the SMS must be fully integrated and clearly understood by the workforce.
The safety management system brings together elements of policy, engineering design, project management, modification control, human factors, management and auditing.
