impact and likelihood. Common methods include risk assessment, the hierarchy of
controls, legal requirements, historical data, employee input, and expert judgment.
The highest priority is given to hazards with severe consequences and a significant
likelihood of occurring. Regular reviews and adjustments are essential, and the
specific approach may vary by organization and industry.
2. What is Safety Risk Management?

prioritizing, and mitigating risks and hazards to ensure safety in various contexts.

regulations by systematically managing potential dangers.
3. Define Safety Management System.

organizations to proactively manage safety risks and ensure compliance with
safety regulations. It includes policies, procedures, and practices to identify,
assess, and mitigate hazards, fostering a culture of safety and preventing

overall direction and commitment to safety within the organization. It outlines
the organization's safety objectives, responsibilities, and commitment to
compliance with safety regulations.
2. Safety Risk Management (SRM): Safety risk management focuses on
identifying and assessing safety hazards and risks within the organization's
operations. This component involves analyzing potential hazards, assessing
their impact and likelihood, and implementing measures to mitigate or control
these risks.
3. Safety Assurance (SA): Safety assurance involves monitoring and
continuously evaluating the effectiveness of the safety measures and controls
put in place. It includes activities such as safety performance monitoring,
 safety audits, and safety data analysis to ensure that safety standards are being
met.
4. Safety Promotion (SP): Safety promotion emphasizes creating a safety
culture within the organization. It involves activities related to training,
communication, and employee engagement to foster a shared commitment to
safety throughout all levels of the organization.
