Lee's Loss Prevention in the Process Industries: Hazard Identification, Assessment and Control, Volume 2, Third Edition

Chapter 28: Safety Management Systems

Overview

Safety and loss prevention depend primarily on the overall management system, as described in Chapter 6 and also in other chapters. The people who carry the main responsibility for safety are the line managers rather than the safety specialists. At managerial, as at other levels, safety is everyone s responsibility. There remains a need, however, within the management system for a specific safety organization and for safety personnel. The quality of this safety system can have a significant effect on safety performance.

Selected references on process safety systems are given in Table 28.1.
