TRADING AS SMSI

Safety Management System (SMS):

A SMS is a set of plans, actions and procedures to systematically manage safety in the workplace that is actively endorsed by a committed employer to achieve the following:

Provision of a safe and healthy workplace and the prevention/reduction of illness and injury equally for employees and contractors.
Identification of workplace hazards, assessment and control of all risks.
Active involvement in health and safety matters by managers, supervisors and employees and their representatives.
Provision of information and training for employees at all levels so they can work safely.
Audit and review of the SMS.

The purpose of an SMS is to systematically eliminate the possibility of accident, illness, injury or fatality in the workplace by ensuring that the hazards in the workplace are eliminated or controlled in a systematic manner, rather than waiting for a crisis to occur.

Employers have legal responsibilities to provide a safe workplace and systems of work, to consult with employees and to keep them informed about health and safety matters.

Small businesses can use an SMS to meet their need to prevent injuries, illness and accidents.

The primary benefit in implementing an SMS is the assistance it can provide in meeting the moral and legal responsibilities of employers.

Benefits include:

Prevention of occupational injury and disease.
Reduced loss of working days due to injury and accidents.
Lowered incidence of employee’s compensation claims.
Minimized work stoppages due to safety disputes.
Improved work methods and worker morale thus leading to improved productivity.
A framework for meeting legislative responsibilities.

Five reasons why SMS succeed:

The SMS is directly aimed at managing critical risks and any other reasons for its existence are secondary.
Senior managers or owner/operators practice what they preach and make decisions to eliminate or reduce hazards.
Supervisors and employees understand their role in the system and are closely involved in its development and operation.
The system is commensurate with the risks to be managed and is absolutely tailored to the organisation’s requirements.
The SMS is able to withstand, and welcomes, robust questioning and review from everyone involved.
