system of an organization and not an add-on to it. Due to the close association between health and safety, safety management systems (SMS) are increasingly known as occupational health and safety management systems (HSMS, SHMS, OHSMS or OSHMS). Further, management standards across a range of business functions such as environment, quality and safety are now being designed so that these traditionally disparate elements can be integrated and managed within a single business management system and not as separate and stand-alone functions. Therefore ,some organizations dovetail other management system functions, such as

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.

Safety management evolved as a counterweight to the exploitation of workers in industry through the 19th and 20th centuries. As the industrial revolution opened up substantial commercial opportunities in
Western societies, the financial imperative of business owners and industrialists lead to the use

Over time, particular safety management models can become a preferred standard within an industry sector which is an approach often driven by industry representative bodies or trade associations. In industries where public safety is a prime consideration or where organisations operate in a high risk

As more industry specific and general safety, health and welfare related legislation started to be introduced, it became necessary for employers to have a framework within which these safety regulations could be understood, managed and the legal requirements implemented. This was necessary, not just

Effective safety management means that organizations need to ensure they are looking at all safety risks within the organization as a single system, rather than having multiple, competing, 'Safety

laws. The scope of the organization's operations and therefore its risk profile will determine how the SMS is structured and what resources are required to manage occupational health and safety risk effectively. Safety management should be considered as a part of the overall business management
