A good place to start would be HS(G)65 Successful health and safety management

Raj,

Could you be a bit more specific?

HSG65 is HSE's guidance on SMS's. There is also a British Standard (BS8800) which is divided into 2 approaches (HSG65 and ISO14001). The International Labour Organisation (ILO) have released their own guidance on SMS's.

Several companies sell their own propriatry systems e.g. ISRS (DNV), SafetyCert (BVQI), QSA (RoSPA).

All SMS's are based upon the theory of "plan-do-check-act" and the aim is one of continual improvement.

What information do you need?

Regards,

Nick
