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.
