No systems or procedure should be set in concrete as this will only result in failure; equally so for Safety Management.  During the last two years there has been the introduction for High Hazard Plants (Seveso and COMAH) new guidelines for Safety Management whilst 2018 saw the introduction of the ISO 45001 (the first ISO standard for Safety Management System). OSHA has recently updated their Guidelines for Safety and Health Programs.
