Safety Management System
A Safety Management System is a group of safety processes to support adequate Safety Margins. It reduces risk.
An inverse relationship exists between safety and risk. Increase safety. Decrease risk.
A Safety Management System is a proven solution to increase safety intensity. A system applies repeatable processes to impact safety margins, which decreases the risk of accidents.
The main benefits of a Safety Management System are:
Our clients in the top quartile of safety results achieve Implementation Scorecards between 88% to 96%.
This result means they are adept at implementing safety processes to deliver safety margins. Strong safety margins decrease the risk of accidents, injuries, and other losses.
A mental model of the Safety Management System can help people implement safety. Displaying your system as a framework helps people visualize the safety processes they are using.
Our clients integrate safety into their businesses. They use a common group of safety processes shown to achieve excellent safety results.
These safety processes are shared below. We’ve divided the safety processes into four sets based on their function.
Your Safety Management System should include four functional sets of processes
S1 OHS Policy
S2 OHS Plan
S3 OHS Accountability
S4 Proactive
S5 Learning
S6 Follow-Through
A big mistake we often see is trying to implement a Safety Management System all at once. A company develops a safety manual, distributes it, and expects instant implementation, like installing software.
Implementing safety is more effective in stages. You’ll be more successful this way.
Unique to what we do, we divide safety processes into implementation phases: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced.
You’ll learn how to:
You’ll also receive guidance how to assign processes to the right owners, implement the processes in waves of three, and use 90-day action plans.
You’ll be surprised how well people can learn and apply safety processes by layering them in stages.
You can improve your safety results by impacting the inverse relationship between safety and risk. A Safety Management System expands your capabilities to achieve Safety Margins and reduce risk with proven processes.
