This document explores the intricacies of Safety Management Systems (SMS) within organizations. It addresses questions about ownership—who truly controls these systems—and their primary objectives, such as profit, growth, and member services. The discussions delve into management roles, the methods employed to achieve objectives, the balance between regulation and practical application, and the significance of adaptability in SMS implementation. Ultimately, it highlights that while all companies possess a management system, the uniqueness of each makes SMS regulation challenging yet essential for enhancing safety.
