SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SMS)
SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SMS)
Safety Management Systems started in the aviation industry and are making their way into every industry. KAIZEN SAFETY SOLUTIONS serves clients by helping them to develop their own SMS specific for their organization. Many “HOW TO” books on this topic just provide you with the outline but do not direct you to ask the imperative questions within your organization that the SMS addresses.
The elements of a standard Safety Management System include the following: Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance and Safety Promotion.
