What is the primary purpose of a Safety Management System (SMS)?

  1. To eliminate all workplace hazards completely
  2. To provide a structured framework for managing safety risksCorrect
  3. To ensure maximum production speed at any cost
  4. To replace the need for individual employee training

Rationale

An SMS is a systematic approach to managing safety by identifying hazards and controlling risks. It does not eliminate all hazards but manages them through a framework. Production speed and lack of training are contrary to SMS principles.
