Safety Management Systems

At Impress Solutions, we understand the challenges you face as a safety professional in ensuring compliance and maintaining safe operations without the resources or expertise you need.

Our Safety Management Systems (SMS) service optimises your systems to reduce risks, prevent incidents, and meet regulatory requirements.

Whether you’re updating your SMS, starting from scratch, or addressing gaps, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

What Are Safety Management Systems?

Safety Management Systems (SMS) are a structured framework to manage safety and health risks in your operations.

A robust SMS will prevent fatalities and injuries while ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations such as the Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulations, ISO 45001, or Workplace Health and Safety legislation.

SMS activities include:

  • Identifying Hazards and Controls: Conducting risk assessments to pinpoint safety and health risks specific to your site and the necessary controls to manage these risks.

  • Documenting Controls: Developing documentation such as plans, procedures and work instructions to define how the site will manage these risks.
        
  • Ensuring Compliance: Aligning your systems with regulatory requirements to pass audits, avoid penalties, and maintain a safe, healthy workplace.

  • Continuous Improvement: Integrating SMS into your operations for ongoing monitoring, training, and optimisation, ensuring long-term safety and health outcomes.

Without an optimised SMS, you risk workplace incidents, regulatory fines, reputational damage, or legal liability. We help you build, enhance, or implement an SMS that delivers measurable results, drawing on our experience with mining and resources sector challenges.
