SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

• An effective SMS avoids unnecessary harm to people or damage to equipment. Avoiding unnecessary loss is vital to maintaining force readiness and preserving our nation’s assets.
• The modern SMS shifts the Navy’s view of safety from a Safety and Occupational Health-centric collection of programs to a risk-centered approach emphasizing management of risk and issues.
• This risk-centered approach acknowledges that operational success results from successful risk management. The deliberate design of this industry-proven approach drives Sailors and Marines to employ risk management and learning into daily decision-making.

• The three assessment tiers are our way of assuring the SMS is effective, and that the command is Safe to Operate and Operating Safely.
• Aligned with the CNO’s Get Real, Get Better initiative, we promote transparency by informing senior leadership of our assessment results so they can take informed action to improve their risk posture and unit readiness.
