Safety Management System
  • A beginners guide

2
What is a Safety Management System?
  • A system that is designed solely for the purpose
    that is, to manage safety risk at the workplace.
  • It should reduce the risk to a level that is as
    low as is reasonably practical or ALARP, thereby
    preventing harm to people.
  • The system should be able to identify, assess and
    control hazards to all people involved, employees
    and the public.
  • There is a substantial body of evidence that an
    efficient safety management system can reduce any
    financial exposure or damage to the reputation of
    the company by bringing down the number of
    accidents.

Industrial Safety Standards
  • ANZI Z-10
  • ISO 45001
  • OSHA Safety Management Guidelines
  • Behaviour Based Safety
  • Fundamentals of Scientific Management
  • New View of Safety Management

ANSI Z-10
  • The American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
    oversees standards and conformity assessment
    activities in the US.
  • ANSI Z10 is an Occupational Health and Safety
    Management Systems Standard, that offers a
    comprehensive strategy for common benefits in the
    occupational safety and health area for achieving
    better productivity, service, quality, profit,
    and other organizational goals.
  • ANSI Z-10 covers minimum requirements for an
    occupational safety and health management system,
    it has also included risk assessment components
    recently.

5
Key Topics Covered in ANSI Z-10
  • Management Leadership
  • Management Review
  • Roles and Responsibilities
  • Policy Statements
  • Employee Participation
  • Assessment and Prioritization
  • Planning
  • Implementation and Operation
  • Evaluation and Corrective Action
  • Audit Information

ISO 45001-Occupational Health Safety
  • ISO or the International Standard Organization is
    an independent non-governmental organization that
    brings together experts from across the world to
    share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus
    based, market relevant international standards.
  • International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates
    that more than 2.3 million people die at work
    from an occupational injury or disease. ISO 45001
    sets minimum standard of practice to ensure the
    safety of employees at workplace.
  • With the sudden emergence of the corona virus
    pandemic, ISO has published a new standard for
    workplace safety management. ISO/PAS 45005
    Occupational Health and Safety Management,
    General guidelines for safe working during the
    COVID-19 Pandemic.

OSHA Safety Management Guidelines
  • The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
    that comes under the Unites Stated Department of
    Labour recommends practices for safety and health
    programs.
  • These non-mandatory safety and health program is
    more like a step wise approach.
  • And the approach is based around seven core
    elements

8
7 Core Elements in OSHA Guidelines
  • Management Leadership
  • Worker Participation
  • Hazard Identification and Assessment
  • Hazard Prevention and Control
  • Education and Training
  • Program Evaluation and Improvement
  • Communication and Coordination for Host
    Employers, Contractors and Staffing Agencies.

9
Behavioural Based Safety
  • Behavioural based safety leverages on the safety
    observations to inform management of overall
    safety of the workplace.
  • In the process of BBS, trained observers conduct
    reviews on other employees based on their
    behaviour in the workplace.
  • The observer takes note of safe and unsafe
    behaviour as well as working conditions, these
    parameters might not be the same for all
    companies.
  • These notes are then passed on to management as
    feedbacks and then management can evaluate these
    behaviours and take necessary steps to make sure
    that people do not behave unsafe in the workplace
    for the sake of their own safety.

10
Scientific Management
  • Scientific management is the theory by which you
    can analyse and synthesize workflows to improve
    economic efficiency and labour productivity.
  • It was Frederick Taylor that proposed this
    management style.
  • The principal object of scientific management is
    to secure the maximum prosperity for the employer.

11
New View of Safety Management
  • In the new view of safety management or Safety-II
    that came about in late 1990s focuses on
    increasing the effectiveness of the safety effort
    and to reduce injuries thereby avoiding
    fatalistic accidents.

Conclusion
  • Safety of the employees and people involved is
    and always will be the first priority of
    organizations.
  • We discussed here various industrial safety
    standards, along with these adopting the services
    of an automated safety management system at the
    company that will ensure proper governance of the
    safety management procedures at the organization.
  • These certifications and practices that ensures
    safety also drives reliability of the brand name
    of an organization, which will be a great factor
    to drive businesses at organizations.
