Developing a Safety Management System can often seem confusing with so many interconnected programs, duties, and measurements. Due to this confusion, many organizations often look to minimal regulations and standards to determine whether their Employee Safety and Health program is successful. Unfortunately, these regulations are often only minimal expectations of relatively safe working conditions and do not address continual hazard analysis, reliable hazard controls, safe work practices, communication, or proactive measurements through leading indicators. With these components of a Safety Management System, organizations can create safe working conditions, safe work practices, and a valid and reliable culture of safety. This article series on ‘Surviving Safety’ explains in a methodical manner how to identify, assess, and control hazards and then communication, validate, and measure the results, all before an injury or exposure occurs using Risk Management, Occupational Safety, and Occupational Health leading practices.
