Analysis of Health and Safety System Maturity

Currently, due to the rapid development of production processes and the emergence of new types of activities, occupational safety is becoming increasingly important.

Previous approaches to safety are losing their relevance, being replaced by proactive methods that allow for a more detailed and effective view of the situation through a systems approach.

Today, "business" understands that after acquiring an asset, it is necessary to implement modern approaches and best practices in HSE (launching/relaunching the industrial safety system from scratch) to guarantee the life and health of personnel, as well as to be a responsible and attractive employer in the labor market.

How to launch an industrial safety system "from scratch"?

Before doing so, it is necessary to conduct a maturity analysis of the existing health and safety system and determine further development steps.

Setting the main goals:

• Description of the current stage of system development;
• Assess the maturity level of the organizational system;
• Identify gaps in the development of the organizational system;
• Evaluate the impact of development gaps on system effectiveness;
