There is a lot of discussion around Safety and Health Management Systems; how they can help you, why you need them, how they help you stay compliant with OSHA, and so on, but there is not as much information around what a Safety and Health Management System actually is. And in order to truly appreciate all of the benefits of a Safety and Health Management System, you need to understand what a Safety and Health Management System actually is.

A Safety and Health Management System is just a centralized system that a business creates to oversee all safety regulations in place at that company. When done properly, these systems allow management to quickly and effectively monitor employee utilization of policy and allow third party auditors to quickly review all safety and health policies and procedures, to ensure they all remain up to code. Instead of a disorganized system which can take excessive time to review and can leave policies unreviewed and unaccounted for, a safety and Health Management System simplifies the entire safety and health process.

Additionally, when OSHA updates Standards or when new hazards become present at your facility, it easy to update policies and track changes. A properly created Safety and Health Management System is fully customizable and designed uniquely for your business. This level of detail allows for easy changes based upon the nature of your business.
