| What is SMS? | | | | It’s about quality… Safety Management Systems (SMS) is an integrated set of work practices, beliefs and procedures for monitoring, supporting, and improving the quality of safety and human performance in an organization. SMS assists organizations in recognizing the potential for errors, and establishes robust defences to prevent them from causing injury or accident. It’s about people… Company-wide commitment is the key to successful safety management. It is only through the collective efforts of all members that an organization will successfully manage human error and safety programs effectively. It’s about managing safely… SMS focuses on the transition from managing safety to managing safely. SMS helps organizations become proactive in their approach to safety by actively identifying risks and hazards, and implementing appropriate solutions. | | |
