Safety Management Plans are comprehensive documents that outline procedures, policies, and responsibilities to ensure the safety of workers on a project or site. These plans are designed to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and implement effective controls to prevent accidents and injuries. Whether you’re managing a construction site, running a factory, or overseeing any other high-risk operation, an SMP is essential for keeping your team safe and your business compliant.
Safety Management Plans come in different formats, for example:
- General Site Safety Management Plans - Unique to a specific site, a Site Management Plan outlines hazards, risks and processes relative to your particular project.
- High-risk Activity Management Plans - For activities such as working with asbestos, confined spaces or chemicals
- Chain of Responsibility (CoR) management plans for the transport industry and many more!
