Managing worker safety is the goal of any company. Securing the health and safety of the employee of any organization is not too much time-taken or complicated. Hence, every organization should have managed and controlled their employee’s health and safety risks (Accou and Reniers, 2020). Long ago safety management system (SMS) was introduced to us for improving the safety of the employee in any organization. There are many industries where the worker are working at high risk. Many accidents are occurred in many industries due to neglect of the safety management system and many employees are injured badly. As per Cullen’s report on Piper Alpha disaster, the UK safety authorities accepted the safety case for those who operate an offshore installation. Then the idea of the auditable idea is launched in high-risk industries like the transport industry, some production industries, etc. Since the 1950s the introduction of the safety management system (SMS) was described. In case of failure of any health and safety issue of any worker of any organization can damage the company’s reputation. Every organization should have a good OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) management system that leads to minimizing unnecessary manpower, ensuring that the workplace OSH team focus on the work as well as the worker’s safety, etc.
