List the main sections of a health and safety management system such as HSG65" is listed below.

Policy. There is a legal requirement to have a health and safety policy and many other aspects of safety management
are subject to legal requirements.

Organising. Policies are implemented by people and this requires their continued motivation and involvement. The HSE has
identified that successful organisations establish, operate and maintain systems for the four C's (control, co-
operation, communication, competence).

Planning and A key aspect of planning is risk assessment since if we do not know what risks there are in our area we are in
Implementing. no position to manage them. There is a risk assessment and risk control module which deals with risk
assessment in detail. Implementing is primarily concerned with the actions required to deal with specific types
of hazards and this is mainly dealt with in the module on common hazards.

Measuring Performance. There are two parts to measuring performance, reactive monitoring and active monitoring. We will look at what
these terms mean later in the course.

Reviewing Performance. The primary purpose of performance review is to organisations to learn by experience and use the lessons
learned to improve their health and safety performance.

Auditing. Auditing is the process of obtaining a systematic and independent view of the health and safety performance of
an organisation.
