A Safety and Health Management System should be an integral part of any safety plan at any company. Whether a multinational manufacturer operating facilities in multiple countries, or a small startup with 10 employees and 1 tiny office, a Safety and Health Management System can help your staff avoid dangerous situations, and better prepare your staff in the event of an emergency.

What a Safety and Health Management System is, is a centralized system which is used to house all of your company’s safety regulations. Rather than having dozens of safety procedures stored in dozens of places, they will all be stored together, in a logical order, to allow for quick and easy access to the company policies.

This helps business owners by creating an environment where safety staff, management, and employees can easily and efficiently look up relevant policies to ensure they are being followed. It also allows you to easily cross reference one policy with another. So, if you are performing a task which is governed by multiple policies, such as entering a confined space or reviewing your lockout tagout procedures, you can easily ensure all policies are being followed. Similarly, if you are updating a policy, you can efficiently ensure that all related policies are updated, as well.
