Learning the obstacles in implementing SMS
Organizational Commitment:
Implementing a standard Safety Management System into an organization involves commitment from all the staff who work there. It is a joint activity that flourishes in everybody’s involvement. Just having to convince everyone to follow the activity regularly can get very difficult.
Caged Solutions:
Organizations are often looking for SMS solutions that can fit right with their culture and hierarchy. It gets difficult when digital solutions don’t offer much flexibility for the needs of the organization.
Possibility to Evolve:

Organizations require solutions that not only help them tackle their existing issues but also expect them to be useful in helping with problems that may emerge in the future.

Document Control:
The SMS model thrives on document validation and approval from various staff for permitting a job to be done in a dangerous location. All the documents required during the process are really hard to maintain and fetch when desired.
Phased Implementation:
No organization wants to rush its implementation of SMS and then find fault when it doesn’t come together as planned. They would rather perform it slowly in many phases. This consumes a lot of time.
Executive Level Training:
When a new business activity enters into an existing business flow, that too replacing an old one, it may require the organization to re-train its employees to fit the new activity. Organizations aren’t mature enough for this kind of execution.
Third-Party Accessibility:
Safety Management Systems in many organizations consist of third-party interventions. It can be on the work-done side or the work approval side. Organizations want solutions that can adapt to such workflows.
