Abstract

Safety Management Systems (SMS) play a crucial role in mitigating workplace hazards and enhancing overall organizational safety. By systematically identifying, assessing, and controlling risks, SMS contribute to a proactive safety culture, ensuring compliance with legal standards, and reducing accidents. This study examines the relationship between the implementation of SMS and the reduction of workplace hazards across different industries. It highlights the effectiveness of safety protocols, employee training, hazard identification processes, and continuous monitoring. The findings demonstrate that companies with well-structured SMS experience lower incident rates, improved safety outcomes, and better risk management. Furthermore, the study explores the challenges and benefits associated with adopting these systems, providing recommendations for improving their implementation and effectiveness in diverse work environments.
