about the presentation
A Safety Management System provides a systematic way to
identify hazards and control risks while maintaining assurance
that these risk controls are effective. SMS can be defined as:
a businesslike approach to safety. It is a systematic, explicit
and comprehensive process for managing safety risks. As
with all management systems, a safety management system
provides for goal setting, planning, and measuring
performance. A safety management system is woven into the
fabric of an organization. It becomes part of the culture, the
way people do their jobs.

accidents or work-related diseases – more than 2.3
million deaths per year. 317 million accidents occur on
the job annually; many of these resulting in extended
absences from work. The human cost of this daily
adversity is vast and the economic burden of
poor occupational safety and health practices is
estimated at 4 per cent of global Gross Domestic
Product each year.

below acceptable limit by introduction of suitable
controls and Programmes.
 Risk should be brought down systematically to
optimum level - Risk can not be made zero.

21. MITIGATION PLAN
EH Extreme high risk – Immediate actions
required to eliminate this risk
H High risk – Unacceptable risk level.
Actions are required to eliminate or reduce
this risk level immediately
M Medium risk – Risk controls are required
L Low risk – Acceptable risk but controls

31. •It is important to appreciate that the social and economic
costs of OHS incidents are extremely high which no
organization can afford.
•Planning process must include its share of OHS concerns.
The safety should be addressed right from the design level.
Very often the problem is our inability to anticipate issues at
the beginning rather than availability of sufficient resources.
•Adoption of OHS management system is no longer an
option it is an imperative.
•Employees at all levels should be made aware of the issues
involved and should be encouraged to participate in OHS
Management at every stage.
•Behavioral aspect in safety needs to be addressed.
