Description
In today's complex work environments, occupational health and safety are critical concerns for all organizations. This title offers an in-depth exploration of creating, implementing, and evaluating structured safety management systems (SMS). As safety regulations and laws require every workplace to maintain a form of SMS, comprehensive guidance is provided here that offers the necessary foundations and detailed understanding of these essential systems. This book is the go-to resource for upgrading and standardizing health and safety protocols. Covering over 60 elements crucial to a robust SMS and providing clear guidelines and practical examples for designing and implementing risk-based processes, programs, and standards, readers will gain insight into auditing these systems to ensure compliance with local and international standards, such as ISO 45001-2018. The text, featuring real-world experiences across various industries, emphasizes a proactive approach to safety, moving beyond reactive measures such as injury rates. Updated to reflect contemporary changes to SMSs and with modifications to every section on goals and KPI’s for safety, this book provides a practical roadmap for integrating SMS into daily operations, ensuring a safer and more compliant workplace. The Design, Implementation, and Audit of Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems is ideal for safety professionals, organizational leaders, and anyone responsible for workplace safety, especially for those in high-risk industries.
