The Need to Develop a Standardised Audit Methodology for the Safety Management System

doi: 10.32562/mkk.2025.2.10

Absztrakt

The basic condition for the operation of plants dealing with hazardous materials is the official approval of the safety documentation, which also presents the safety management system, and its regular official inspection. There is no standardised methodology for the regular official inspection of the safety management system, so the experience and personal preferences of the person performing the inspection play a significant role in the subject matter. In this article, the author aims to analyse and evaluate the circumstances that hinder the regular inspection of safety management systems established in plants dealing with hazardous materials, based on which he proposes a methodology supporting regular inspection.
