The first step, when introducing a Safety Management System (SMS) into an organization, is to develop an implementation plan.
This will be a realistic strategy for the implementation of SMS that meets the needs of the organization and defines the approach taken for managing safety.
The contents of the plan should include:
Safety policy
Safety planning objectives and goals
System description
Gap analysis
SMS components;
Safety roles and responsibilities
Safety reporting policy
Means of employee involvement
Safety communication
Safety performance measurement
Management review of safety performance
Safety training
Small Organisations
For a small organization a simplified SMS implementation plan should be developed that includes:
The organization’s approach to managing safety in a manner that meets its safety needs
Coordination with the SMS of other organizations with which it interfaces during the provision of services
Endorsement by senior management and communication throughout the organization.
