Defining management processes and their procedural workflows is crucial to the effective implementation of a safety management system. These processes cover all the activities needed to properly manage legal obligations and risks related to workplace safety, fostering a safe environment for all workers.

Safety management system: a comprehensive organisational approach

The occupational safety management system can be optimised by preparing and revising specific organisational procedures. These define the standards and operational rules needed to manage workplace safety effectively in compliance with current legislation, such as Legislative Decree 81/2008 and, where necessary, the international standard ISO 45001.

Key management procedures in the safety management system

The safety management system must include specific procedures for each relevant area of the organisation. The main management areas include:

  • Training: programmes to raise worker awareness of risks and safety measures.

FAQ

What is an occupational health and safety management system?

An occupational health and safety management system is a structured approach to identifying, assessing and reducing risks related to worker safety. It includes corporate policies, procedures and responsibilities that help prevent workplace accidents, occupational diseases and incidents. Implementing a safety management system is essential for ensuring a safe, legally compliant working environment. It must be continuously monitored and updated to respond to regulatory changes and business needs.

ISO 45001 improves safety culture by creating a systematic framework that engages all levels of the organisation. It promotes a proactive approach to safety management, encouraging active worker participation, ongoing training and the adoption of preventive measures. By implementing this standard, organisations can raise awareness of risks and foster a culture in which safety is a shared priority, reducing incidents and improving overall work quality.

The Risk Assessment Document (DVR) is a fundamental element of the safety management system, enabling organisations to identify, assess and manage workplace health and safety risks. Regular updates are essential to reflect changes in business activities, regulations, and production and work processes. Continuous updating helps prevent undetected risks and ensures that preventive measures remain adequate and timely, protecting workers and reducing the risk of incidents.

Ongoing occupational health and safety training is essential for maintaining high worker awareness of risks. It enables workers to acquire the skills needed to recognise and manage hazardous situations, helping to reduce incidents. Ongoing training also fosters a safety culture in which workers are more motivated to follow correct procedures. Keeping staff continuously up to date strengthens legislative compliance and improves overall wellbeing in the workplace.

Contract management within an occupational safety management system involves selecting suppliers and contractors who adhere to the same safety standards adopted by the organisation. Specific safety clauses must be included in the contract, such as the obligation to comply with regulations and to provide adequate training for their workers. In this way, the organisation ensures that contractors also operate in a safe environment, reducing the risk of incidents and creating a collaborative network focused on protecting all workers.
