In today’s dynamic chemical sector, a solid Safety Management System (SMS) is the cornerstone of resilient process safety, essential for safeguarding people, assets, and the environment.

My remarks will demonstrate how a robust SMS establishes clear roles, consistent procedures, and systematic hazard reviews to drive proactive decision-making at every stage of operations.

I will then highlight the critical importance of lessons learned—systematically capturing insights from past incidents to prevent recurrence, refine practices, and cultivate a culture of continuous improvement. By empowering frontline teams through immersive training, transparent incident investigations, and visible leadership engagement, organizations can transform hard-won experience into tangible safety gains.

Drawing on recent case studies, I will illustrate measurable benefits such as accelerated root-cause analysis, a marked reduction in repeat incidents, and improved operational reliability.
Anchored in a comprehensive SMS and informed by lessons learned, companies can anticipate challenges, strengthen their safety culture, and sustain high-performance operations over the long term.
