A Safety Management System (SMS) is a comprehensive framework designed to manage safety risks within an organization. SMS encompasses all levels of an organization, promoting a culture of safety and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. By integrating safety into everyday operations, SMS helps organizations proactively prevent accidents and incidents, ultimately enhancing overall safety performance.

Taking an SMS course is essential for anyone involved in managing or overseeing safety within an organization. This course provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to develop, implement, and maintain an effective Safety Management System. You’ll learn how to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and apply best practices to mitigate those hazards and risks. Additionally, you’ll learn how to foster a safety culture, ensuring safety becomes an integral part of your organization’s operations. By enhancing your understanding of SMS, you’ll be better prepared to improve safety outcomes, comply with regulatory standards, handle emergencies, and contribute to the overall success of your organization.

This course includes 11 modules and a final exam.
