Integrated safety management

The Integrated Safety Management Program (ISMP) as described by Zimolong (1997) is a framework of an organizational development process. It supports and facilitates preventive Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) processes and structures to be integrated into organizations: HSE activities into the daily routines of managers, supervisors, and employees, HSE standards and processes into the life cycle of products, services, and work systems, and finally human resource management principles to establish the process on a long term basis. Effective HSE management means coordinating and controlling a continuous improvement process by setting and adjusting HSE standards.
