  2. What is a Safety Management System? • “An orderly arrangement of interdependent activities and related procedures that drives an organisation’s performance.” 1996 • “A Safety Management System is an integrated set of work practices, beliefs and procedures for monitoring and improving the safety and health of all aspects of your operation.” CASA, July 2002

  3. What is a Safety Management System? • “That part of the overall management systems which includes organisational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the OHS policy, and so managing the risks associated with the business of the organisation.” AS/NZS 4801, 2001

  9. Safety Case Assessment and the MHF Regs

  10. What is Safety Case Assessment? A process which uses desktop assessment and onsite verification to see if you comply with the regulations. i.e. meet the performance standard Our performance standard for assessing your SMS: The MHF regulations and known SMS Standards which you may subscribe to. (eg. Australian Standards, your own corporate policies) Our assessment tools: Focus Rule 7 – Safety Management Systems, Focus Rule 8 – Safety Case Demonstrations and your own SMS KPI’s

  11. Why do WorkSafe verify the SMS? Verification obtains evidence to show that your SMS is implemented and functional as you describe it. We also verify that your employees • have access to the SMS • understand their duties in following procedures • have been provided information, instruction and training • where practicable have been consulted in SMS development/ changes • have been involved in review/revise process

  12. Examples of information needed to assess & verify your SMS • Your SMS summary and selected procedures • Samples of auditing and proof of corrected non conformances • Proof of monitoring of SMS KPI’s • Work Safe’s observations from oversight and annual inspection • Review of changes as a result of the review and revise • Training records • Interviews with your employees, contractors and HSR’s • Position descriptions • Contractual details if the management of control measures is outsourced

  13. Why do WorkSafe perform these processes ? Because ofyour needto demonstrate compliance before you can get a licence What are the drivers for demonstration?

  14. Drivers for demonstration - The CEO signed statement Reg 402(3)(a) and (d) A Safety Case must contain a signed statement by which the operator certifies that - The summary of the SMS is an accurate summary The persons who participate in the implementation of the SMS have the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to perform their allocated tasks and discharge their allocated responsibilities in relation to the SMS

  15. Drivers for demonstration - Granting of a licence 803(1)(a) The Safety case has been prepared in accordance with regulation 402 Reg 402 The content of the safety case must be sufficient for the purposes of (a) Demonstrating that the safety management system provides a comprehensive and integrated management system for all aspects of control measuresadopted in relation to hazards and major incidents Have you given your assessor enough information for them to confidently state that demonstration is adequate?

  16. Because WorkSafe can suspend or cancel licences Regulation 808(2) The Authority may suspend or cancel a licence if the Authority is satisfied that - (a) The SMS for the licensed MHF no longer provides a comprehensive and integrated management system for all aspects of control measures adopted in relation to hazards and major incidents

  17. Granting of licence The Authority may grant a licence if, 803(1)(b) The applicant has complied with provisions of part 3 of the Regs; Part 3 of the MHF regs: SAFETY DUTIES OF THE OPERATOR

  18. Safety duties of operators Regulation 301(1) The operator of a major hazard facility MUST ESTABLISH and IMPLEMENT a SMS for the major hazard facility When is your SMS established? When is your SMS implemented?

  19. Safety duties of operators Regulation 301(2) The operator MUST USE the Safety Management System as the PRIMARY MEANS of ensuring SAFE OPERATION of the Major Hazard Facility Does not say ‘preventing Major Incidents’ What does “primary means” mean to your site?

  20. Safety duties of operators Regulation 301(3) The Safety Management System so established MUST • provide a COMPREHENSIVE and INTEGRATED management system for all aspects of CONTROL MEASURES adopted under Part 3 (b)be DOCUMENTED (c)Be so set out and expressed that its contents are readily ACCESSIBLE and COMPREHENSIBLE to persons who use it Are you confident that your SMS supports your CM’s for all aspects? Is your SMS providing comprehensive (effective) management of your control measures?

  21. Safety duties of operators Reg 301(4) The SMS MUST STATE the operator’s safety POLICY, including the operator’s broad AIMS in relation to the SAFE OPERATION of the major hazard facility; State the operator’s SPECIFIC safety OBJECTIVES; DESCRIBE the SYSTEMS and PROCEDURES by which these OBJECTIVES are to be ACHIEVED; Describe how COMPLIANCE with PART 3 & PART 5 is to be achieved; (part 3: Safety duties of operator), part 5 (consulting, informing instructing and training) INCLUDE all matters specified in SCHEDULE 2

  22. Safety duties of operators Schedule 2 – Additional matters to be included in the SMS Safety policies and objectives Organisation and personnel Operational controls Compliance with part 3 & part 5 of the regulations Management of change Principles and standards Performance monitoring Audit Performance monitoring and Audit will be covered later in this presentation

  23. Safety duties of operators Reg 301(5) The operator must REVIEW and as necessary REVISE the Safety Management System if • a MODIFICATION is made to the major hazard facility; • a MAJOR INCIDENT occurs at the major hazard facility; • whether or not the circumstances mentioned in paragraph (b) or (c) occurs, AT LEAST ONCE EACH 5 YEARS. To what extent are you going to review/revise your SMS? Document this in your review/revise plan

  24. Safety duties of operators Reg 307(1)(d) Safety roles for employees The operator of a MHF must develop a role for the operator’s employees including the specific procedures they would be required to follow to assist the operator in relation to Establishing and implementing a SMS under regulation 301.
