Safety Management System Audit

Examining the effectiveness of the safety management system in the workplace and identifying the disconnects between the expectation and the practicalities of implementation

Safety Management System Audit

Despite all best efforts at generating a well considered, planned and inclusively designed Safety Management System there will always be flaws and misunderstandings. By visiting the workplace with our ‘on board audits’, WrightWay objectively identifies the cause of non-compliances. A key feature of the WrightWay approach is that the best judge of the effectiveness of a process or procedure is the individual engaged in the task. In conjunction with those directly involved, WrightWay propose appropriate remedies and mechanisms for ensuring compliance.

In addition to examining SMS implementation, WrightWay employs its human factors expertise to establish how integrated the team is, the levels of synergy between the team members, and how effectively information is transferred from one team to another.

WrightWay actively includes the use of behavioural markers and objective assessments of human factors as a fundamental principle of its analysis. We encourage our clients to adopt these processes so that they can become stand-alone pinnacles of excellence in combining safety and business effectiveness.
