Safety Management System

Your OHS program is the foundation for a broader Safety Management System (SMS).

Building on that foundation, an SMS connects health and safety with your organization’s planning, leadership, decision-making, and daily operations. It brings policies, responsibilities, training, hazard controls, reporting, and evaluation together in a coordinated approach.

This helps your organization:

• Set clear safety goals and responsibilities.
• Integrate safety into everyday decisions.
• Monitor performance and follow through on improvements.
• Learn from incidents, worker feedback, and changing risks.

The goal is to meet legal requirements while continually improving how safety is managed and supporting a positive safety culture.
