Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Safety Management System?

A safety management system is designed to manage safety risks in the workplace and protect the health and safety of employees and other interested parties.

Feddersen Consulting Group will assist in developing safety management systems that comply with the following: ISO:45001:2018, Office of Federal Safety Commission (OFSC) Accreditation, National Audit Tool (NAT), HV Chain of Responsibility (HVCoR), AustRoads Prequalification, and more.

What are the key components of a Safety Management System?

  • Safety Policy: An organisation’s commitment to safety, outlining its objectives, responsibilities, and overall approach to managing safety.
  • Risk Management: The process of identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing controls to mitigate or eliminate those risks.
  • Safety Assurance: Regular monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement of safety performance through management system audits, safety audits, and safety data analysis.
  • Safety Promotion: Activities aimed at fostering a safety culture within the organisation, including training, communication, and employee involvement.
  • Emergency Preparedness and Response: Plans and procedures for responding to emergencies and mitigating their impact on personnel, assets, and the environment.

SMS is often implemented in industries where safety is critical, such as aviation, healthcare, construction, and manufacturing, but it can be applied to any organisation seeking to prioritise safety as a core value. The ultimate goal of an SMS is to prevent accidents, incidents, and injuries by systematically managing risks and promoting a culture of safety across all levels of the organisation.

Additionally, organisations may seek consulting services from Feddersen Consulting Group in occupational health and safety, including workers’ compensation management, to further enhance their safety performance and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards. These consulting services, including those provided by Feddersen Consulting Group, can provide expert guidance in establishing and maintaining effective safety management systems tailored to the specific needs of the organisation.

How do we get ISO certified?

Once you have implemented your management system an auditor from a Certification Body will sight objective evidence to support conformity with each of the sub-clauses (clause 4-10) of the ISO Standard e.g., ISO:9001 Quality Management Systems.  We will assist in the development of the management system and ensure that it meets all of the requirements prior to the certification audit.

The auditor will identify any areas of the organisation’s system that may need improvement or are doing well. The certification process is a good way to encourage consistent improvement for the organisation.
