At the working level, the core safety management functions of Integrated Safety Management provide the necessary structure for any work activity that could potentially affect the public, the workers, company assets, surrounding community and the environment. The functions are applied as a continuous cycle with the degree of rigor appropriate to address the type of work activity and the hazards involved. Safety is an integral part of the management process of an organization and the effectiveness of safety programs is related to the safety management systems of the organization
and top management support.

In industries the unexpected releases of toxic, reactive, or flammable liquids and gases in processes involving highly hazardous chemicals have been reported for many years and many untoward incidents continue to occur worldwide in various industries that use chemicals, highly hazardous materials which may be toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive,
or may exhibit a combination of these properties.

Integrated Safety Management
A significant part of an organization's safety culture takes root, flourishes, and is sustained in and by operations where routine processes take place. Safety is a company-wide effort, but the task of ensuring the safety of these protocols, and the employees who run them, falls largely on the shoulders of managers responsible for safe operation and maintenance of the facility. The managers and shop floor supervisors have frequent and direct contact with employees, and have the huge influence to affect behavior, monitor safety compliance, and dictate the tenor of a safety culture. This approach combines the implementation and practice of our own safety methodology, the knowledge gained from worldwide incident investigations. This help in achieving management goals and objectives. The flexibility of the approach offers the choice of engaging in a comprehensive organization-wide transformation program or tailoring a training package that focuses on the safety leadership competencies required to meet desired results.
