Safety Management

Safety management in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) involves the systematic planning, organizing, leading, and controlling of safety-related activities within a workplace to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses. It encompasses various elements, including risk assessments, developing safety policies and procedures, implementing control measures, providing training, conducting inspections, incident investigations, and continuous improvement. Effective safety management aims to create a culture of safety, where everyone takes responsibility for identifying hazards, following safety protocols, and actively contributing to maintaining a safe work environment. It requires strong leadership, clear communication, and the integration of safety considerations into all aspects of business operations to ensure the well-being and protection of workers.
