An effective safety management system is essential to prevent irreversible accidents. In this section, we will delve into the background of safety management in industrial engineering and discuss the various issues related to industrial safety management. We will also provide a detailed description of the existing and commonly used safety performance measurement methods. Ensuring safety in the workplace is not only a legal requirement but also a moral obligation. By implementing an effective safety management system, we can prevent accidents and protect the well-being of employees and the public. Let's work together to create a safer and healthier workplace for everyone.
In addition, we will announce you to the techniques and tools for safety data collection, analysis, and sharing, along with their applications for safety management.
An organization's safety culture is influenced by the values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies, and behaviour patterns of individuals and groups. These factors determine the commitment, style, and proficiency of an organization's safety and health management. Although safety culture has been defined in various ways, there is no standard definition because it has different meanings in different industries and situations.
Safety is of utmost importance in any industrial sector as it ensures the protection of human lives and property. In high-risk industries such as aviation, oil and gas, construction, transportation, steel manufacturing, and mining, workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities are a common occurrence due to the hazardous nature of the work environment.
That's why it's crucial to integrate safety into every work process. Safety should be considered just as important as quality in any product or service.

At ITL, we prioritize the interconnectedness of safety and quality. Our dedication to both aspects begins well before the production of our scaffolding products and accessories.
Upon the arrival of raw materials at our factory, we conduct a meticulous valuation. This assessment includes determining key processes such as tension, convoluted, galvanizing quality, and dimensional accuracy. We compare these measurements against predetermined parameters.
To ensure accuracy, we employ a variety of testing equipment and procedures, ranging from calibrated hand tools to computerized analysis. Throughout this process, we maintain close collaboration with our suppliers to guarantee that only the highest quality materials are approved for manufacturing.
We firmly believe that this initial phase is crucial in providing peace of mind to our customers and their workforces. It serves as the foundation for safety and long-term performance in every installation we undertake.
Employers must prioritize safety and demonstrate their commitment to it on a daily basis as an essential part of their company values. This entails top management establishing safety goals as policy and actively participating in their achievement. It is crucial to clearly define safety accountability and responsibilities, such as the role of the leadership team in overseeing safety in the same manner as other business areas, and the responsibility of technical managers in ensuring the effectiveness of safety risk controls.
Once safety personnel have been appointed, it is important to establish documentation processes. This is necessary because the safety management system will be periodically reviewed to ensure its continued relevance and suitability for the organization. According to the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam), the documentation for the safety management system may take the form of a standalone manual or be integrated into existing record-keeping procedures .
To effectively manage safety risks, designated staff should follow a series of interconnected processes known as Safety Risk Management (SRM). These processes focus on anticipating and mitigating risks at the process level. The SRM component of SMS consists of the following 5 steps:
Deficient conditions that can lead to injury, illness, or damage to people, systems, equipment, or property are identified as hazards. This includes conditions related to human error, such as time pressure or lack of system knowledge.
Safety Assurance (SA) is a vital part of the safety management system that focuses on monitoring risk controls during operations. Control measures are strategically implemented and their performance and effectiveness are evaluated. SA functions include internal audits, investigations, and employee reporting systems. In aviation, operational data sources like flight dispatch records, crew schedules, and aircraft discrepancy reports are valuable for ongoing safety risk control monitoring.
Key safety personnel assess the risks associated with identified hazards. This involves considering the likelihood and severity of adverse consequences. Multiple consequences can arise from a single hazard, and increased exposure to hazards can lead to more severe consequences.
Risk control, also known as risk mitigation, involves implementing safety measures to protect people, property, or the environment. While the severity of risks may be reduced to some extent, the focus is primarily on decreasing the probability or likelihood of adverse events. Applying risk controls to working conditions can effectively reduce risks and prevent failures
A cross-functional team within the organization describes the activities and workplace conditions involved in their processes. They also consider factors like procedures, process measures, and interfaces.
A risk assessment is performed to determine whether a safety risk is acceptable or not. A risk matrix is used to evaluate the combined effects of likelihood and severity, prioritizing the safety risks that require attention. If a risk is deemed acceptable, it moves to the next component for monitoring. Otherwise, risk controls are implemented to mitigate or reduce the risk.
Once all necessary information is gathered, it is analyzed against objectives and compared with established norms to identify patterns and trends over time. Safety risk controls often fail due to a lack of leadership, resources, or instruction. In such cases, preventive and corrective actions should be taken, such as increased supervision, equipment maintenance, or remedial training. Management review is also essential for Safety Assurance, particularly for continuous improvement of the safety management system
