Integrated Safety Management Systems

Abstract

Safety is an integral part of the management process of an organisation. The effectiveness of safety is related to the safety management system of the organisation, and the organisation's management system as a whole. Both systems are connected to the general principles of management. These general management principles were used to establish an integrated approach to the process of safety management through the integration of Integrated Management Systems (IMS), which work on the principles and rules of standardised management control systems, and which are possible to add to the already established management control systems, with the goal of the elimination of duplication in safety management, including reducing the cost of safety management itself. One benefit for the field of science is the creation of new universal algorithm steps for building integrated safety, which is applicable for managing any area of safety under any organisation's conditions, regardless of the size and subject of activity of the given organisation. A benefit in practice is that it brings closer the general objective or aim, which is the effective approach to the integration process of the organisation management system.
