This comprehensive book delves into the intricate aspects of designing, implementing, and auditing structured occupational health and safety management systems (SMS), also known as safety programs. Every workplace is mandated to have an SMS in place as per safety regulations and laws.

The Design, Implementation, and Audit of Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems provides a comprehensive overview of the key components that form an SMS. It outlines the implementation process and emphasizes the importance of auditing to ensure compliance with standards. The book covers over 60 processes, programs, or standards within an SMS, offering valuable background information on each element. Guidelines and practical examples are provided to assist organizations in designing and implementing risk-based processes, programs, and standards, as well as conducting audits against these standards.

The text is grounded in real-world SMS implementation experiences across a diverse range of industries. It serves as a valuable guide for organizations that lack a structured SMS, providing them with a roadmap to upgrade their health and safety processes and conform to local and international standards. By shifting focus from reactive safety measures such as injury rates to proactive actions measured through system audits, organizations can enhance their overall safety performance and achieve a culture of continuous improvement.
