What are the essential factors and features required to ensure your safety management system works as intended and within agreed budget constraints?
Procurement & workforce (including top to bottom level of organization) are the factors & their main feature is competency which are highly essential for the efficient and cost-effective working of a HS management system. If both the factors are not up to the level, the efficiency of HSM will go down and cost will increase which will affect the project budget and eventually management will cut down the resources which are even basic to support the HS management system. Therefore, this has to be captured in the risk assessment as of high risk and suitable mitigation measures like proper selection of employees, trainings to improve on competence, proper selection of material, tools & equipment which are of current industry standards and fulfilling the project requirements.
The factors may be various such as
budject
communication
experties of auditor
