ABSTRACT
Safety management is taken to be the total of activities, conducted in a more or less coordinated way by an organization, to control the hazards presented by its technology. These hazards may be potentially harmful to its assets (buildings, plant, etc.), its workforce, its customers, or those living around the company site. Hazards may include not only the acute risks of physical damage, death, and injury, but also the long-term health risks of occupational disease and exposure to poor working conditions.
