What is a safety and health management system (SHMS)?

A safety and health management system (SHMS) is a systematic process for managing workplace safety and health. The system features:

• Setting goals
• Planning
• Measuring performance
• Managing commitments and direction

Workplaces must also audit or review their SHMS regularly to ensure continual improvements.

The audit methodology includes document review, site inspection and interview of key personnel. The man-days required for audits will vary according to audit criteria adopted for different types of workplaces.

The SHMS audit will be conducted in accordance with the relevant WSH legislation and guidelines set out for each industry. The audit will evaluate the SHMS based on the WSH Act and its subsidiary legislation.
