Safety Management System Overview
 

A robust yet simple management system is critical in maintaining a safe working environment whilst also ensuring compliance with the myriad of safety related legislation and associated codes of practice in place within the EU.

 

The Safety Management System [SMS] is intended to ensure small to medium sized businesses have a framework for managing occupational safety issues whilst also providing a robust audit trail to ensure compliance,

 

Based on various approaches to the principles of good management, this SMS further follows and underpins the guidance laid down in both HSE65 - Successful Safety Management, and in BS8800 - Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

 

Each element of the SMS manages specific areas of Safety Management which when taken together will ensure your employees are safe, your legal duties are complied with and will free your time to concentrate on driving business.
