Publisher Summary This chapter explores the characteristics of the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) that are important for the implementation of a safety management system (SMS). It presents the lessons learnt from the interviews with safety managers and plant managers of SMEs, explores the difficulties associated with the implementation of a SMS, and provides some advices to overcome the weakness of SMEs. To anticipate the implementation of SMS in the framework of the application of the Seveso II Directive, a working group was built at INERIS. Being aware of the difficulties apprehended by SMEs' operators, INERIS launched a project with industrialists to build a methodology evaluating the efficiency of a SMS. The methodology is based on the development of safety performance indicators that might be used by the operator for monitoring the SMS in the long term. The indicators that are developed reflect the formal aspects of SMS as well as the level of appropriation link with the safety culture. |
