What is the Safety Management Systems (SMS)?
The Safety Management Systems (SMS) course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive training on designing, implementing, and maintaining a systematic approach to occupational health and safety management using ISO 45001 as the framework.

The curriculum covers management system concepts (PDCA, system thinking, process approach), ISO 45001 clause-by-clause (Clause 4: Context, Clause 5: Leadership, Clause 6: Planning, Clause 7: Support, Clause 8: Operation, Clause 9: Performance Evaluation, Clause 10: Improvement), hazard identification and risk/opportunity assessment within the management system, operational planning and control, emergency preparedness, monitoring/measurement/analysis, internal auditing, management review, incident investigation within the system, corrective action and continual improvement, and integration with ISO 14001 and ISO 9001. All training is delivered 100% online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
