A Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) is the repeatable, integrated processes, procedures and actions that result from the system plan. It should be operations wide and must be coordinated and include the assignment of responsible persons to help steer and actively manage the system on its path forward. As the SHMS plan is developed and implemented, incorporation of CORESafety into other operational systems should be considered in paralleling efforts to achieve the 0:50:5 goals across all departments.
Management System Coordination is the process of:
1. Assigning responsibility for development and management of the CORESafety
safety and health management system.
2. Developing a SHMS plan incorporating CORESafety values.
3. Integrating CORESafety into other company systems such as mine planning,
operations, maintenance, contract management, human resources, information
technology and others.
4. Establishing a process to review and continually improve performance that affects
the goals and objectives of CORESafety and the SHMS.
5. Establishing a process to review periodically and ensure the SHMS remains relevant
and appropriate as the organization undergoes change
Because the CORESafety SHMS will affect many aspects and all groups within the
organization, it must be employed operations-wide by integrating its principals into all company systems, e.g. planning, operations, maintenance, contract management, human
resources, performance management, procurement, etc.
The CORESafety management system coordination will require a senior manager to be
designated with responsibility for ensuring a safety and health management system is
developed and implemented within all affected departments, levels, facilities and business units within the organization.
The program must be periodically reviewed to measure success in meeting the 0:50:5
goals and to ensure continued performance improvement.
