Management systems that are recognized as key tools to improve business management and the results associated with it have spread at the business level during the last 50 years. Regarding Safety Management Systems (SMSs), despite having specific international standards, there are no complete studies that analyze the degree of effectiveness of SMS, and even less in construction, a sector that concentrates a large part of registered labor accidents worldwide. The present investigation is an analysis of SMS effectiveness from an empirical study carried out over 48 months in five countries with a total of more than 23 million work hours between 2009 and 2012. Additionally, it is implied that the impact of SMS implementation in a certain organization must be complemented by a statistical qualitative analysis of its effect on the distribution of accidents. Both analyses are developed in the present study, thus contributing relevant implications when assessing both quantitatively and qualitatively the effects of developing and implementing a health and safety management system in this sector. The findings from this research can contribute to understanding how SMS implementation can help reduce accidents in this industry as well as to enhance SMS implementation in a high-risk sector.
