Paper For Above instruction

A safety management system (SMS) provides several advantages by emphasizing process-oriented strategies over solely focusing on individual behavior. One key benefit is the development of a proactive safety culture that prioritizes hazard identification and risk mitigation at the organizational level, rather than relying on individuals to prevent incidents (Manuele, 2014). This systemic approach encourages continuous improvement through structured procedures, audits, and safety performance metrics, thereby minimizing the likelihood of accidents and injuries. Additionally, emphasizing processes enhances consistency and reliability in safety practices, leading to better compliance with regulatory standards and industry best practices. It also facilitates early detection of safety issues, promoting preventative measures over reactive responses after incidents occur. By integrating safety into organizational processes, companies foster collective responsibility, which reduces blame on individual workers and encourages shared accountability. Overall, process-focused safety systems lead to a more resilient and effective safety environment that can adapt to changing conditions and complexities in the workplace, ultimately reducing the incidence and severity of workplace injuries (Manuele, 2014).
