The Safety Management System (SMS) is extremely important to the long-term success of an organization. This course is a follow-up to OSHAcademy Course 700, Introduction to Safety Management, and covers assessment, analysis, and evaluation methods and techniques to properly design and deploy a world-class SMS.
This course will also briefly introduce you to OSHA's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) and the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). Even if your company doesn't anticipate participating in these two voluntary programs, the information will help improve the quality and success of your safety management system.
