Introduction:
Safety Management Systems (SMS) necessitate systematic assessments to gauge their efficiency and effectiveness. These audits must align with both company aspirations and national legislative requirements. A proficient auditor critically examines SMS to identify weaknesses and recommend improvements. Conversely, workplace inspections, conducted by supervisors, focus on physical assessments to pinpoint unsafe conditions and acts.
