Safety Management Systems

Overcome Complexity

Address the root causes of overly complex SMSs – lack of strategy, poor structure (like "spaghetti mixing"), and unclear language – by simplifying content and focusing on presentation.

Streamline Operations & Audits

Simplify your SMS using process-oriented procedures that align with real-life tasks. This not only improves day-to-day operations but also provides a competitive edge and better outcomes in inspections and audits

Reduce Human Error

With human error accounting for up to 80% of marine losses, a user-friendly, clear, and logically structured SMS is crucial for safety, making it easier for crew to find and follow correct procedures, reducing the likelihood of mistakes.

Ensure True Compliance

Align your SMS with the true intentions and evolving requirements of regulations like the ISM Code and modern standards (SIRE 2.0, DryBMS, RightShip) that emphasize human factors and user-friendliness

Extract relevant content from all standards and integrate it into procedures that follow your real-life workflow, rather than duplicating one standard's academic structure.

Management Support

Securing the understanding and support of DPAs and senior management is paramount for successful SMS simplification, requiring a strong case highlighting the long-term benefits for safety, efficiency, and competitiveness.
