Concept of safety (Doc 9859)Concept of safety (Doc 9859)
SafetySafety is the is the state state in which the risk of harm to persons in which the risk of harm to persons or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a below, an acceptable level through a continuing processcontinuing process of of hazard identificationhazard identification and and risk managementrisk management
Safety Management System is an organized approach Safety Management System is an organized approach to managing safety, including the necessary to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structure, accountabilities, policies andorganizational structure, accountabilities, policies and proceduresprocedures
